“World Ballet Company is dedicated to demystifying the art of ballet.”
“A heightened sense of reality, folk tales, and folk dances transmogrified into sinuous spectacle”
“Like a time capsule, capturing the richness and fullness that once defined all ballet”
“Classic ballet traditions while adding new choreography, hand-painted sets, and beyond beautiful hand-sewn costumes”
“One of the most transcendent cultural experiences I have had in a long time”
One ballerina. Two unforgettable roles.
Odette and Odile. Light and shadow. Grace and fire. Watch a single dancer bring both to life in one of ballet’s most iconic transformations — a performance that defines virtuosity.
Technique that takes your breath away.
From the 32 fouettés that draw audible gasps to the mesmerizing synchronicity of the Little Swans, this is ballet at its most daring and precise.
A cast that moves as one.
The corps de ballet is a force of nature — twenty-four dancers weaving hypnotic patterns across the stage in perfect harmony, evoking the pulse of the lake itself.
Music that haunts and soars.
Tchaikovsky’s legendary score swells beneath every movement, surrounding you in every note, every heartbreak, every triumph.
A world built to enchant.
Hand-painted sets. Over 150 shimmering costumes. Every detail draws you deeper into a world where magic feels just out of reach — and heartbreak is only a heartbeat away.
