Radina Dace / Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Little Swan Lake
The story of the White Swan and the Black Swan is, in a sense, the very essence of classical ballet.
Schedule
When the "ballet of ballets" is performed by young dancers growing up alongside Tchaikovsky’s marvellous music and the ballet ensemble of the Hungarian State Opera, it can rightly be expected to capture the interest of the youngest audiences, preschoolers and elementary school children alike. In the two-part performance, the coordinated movements of ballet students and professional dancers bring the tale to life, where we see the Prince face to face with the ethereal Swan Girls who haunt him.
Hungarian State Opera
The Hungarian State Opera House is the only theatre in Hungary with a large company, specialising in operas and ballets. The building is one of Budapest's most important 19th century monuments. It was built in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. The richly decorated interior was designed by renowned Hungarian artists, including Mór Than, Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
