Called “striking” and “a runaway box office hit” by the SF Chronicle when it first premiered, Helgi Tomasson’s glorious Swan Lake returns to the War Memorial Opera House stage for the first time since 2010. Love, sorcery, and betrayal are the themes in what is probably the best known and most beautiful story ballet of all time. Sublime dancing and splendid costumes are set against a sleek and modern set design in a production the New York Times called, “beautifully lyrical.”
