Swan Lake

In 2018/19, the Ballett am Rhein is presenting Martin Schläpfer’s version of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.

Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” is the most famous ballet of all time. Since its world premiere in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, there have been countless interpretations of this romantic fairy-tale dance.

In 2018/19, the Ballett am Rhein is presenting Martin Schläpfer’s version. The Swiss choreographer utilises his unique dance vocabulary - which is physical and highly expressive in equal measure - to focus on “the fascinating darkness, psychic secrets and archetypes” and carry us off into a world “in which ghosts and unexplained phenomena are not yet dismissed as figments of our imagination”.
