Swan Lake at Providence Performing Arts Center

Festival Ballet Providence presents what has been hailed as "the most impressive, moving and enduring" of the classical ballets, SWAN LAKE. It is the story of good and evil, of beauty and love. An evil sorcerer has put a curse on young women so that by day they live as swans in a lake of their tears. But at night they are women again. Only true love can break the curse and free the Swan Queen. The critically acclaimed staging of SWAN LAKE by FBP Artistic Director Mihailo Djuric and Milica Bijelic, based on the original by Petipa and Ivanov, returns to Providence this season for the first time in four years.
