Tchaikovsky's wonderful score for "Swan Lake" features some of the most beautiful music in classical ballet. It tells the story of Prince Siegfried's love for the Swan Queen Odette, and their battle against the evil magician, Rothbart.

The English National Ballet's lavish and traditional production will bring the romance and drama of the grand Russian ballet alive.

The English National Ballet is one of Britain’s four major ballet companies. It is based at the London Coliseum and undertakes frequent tours of the UK and the wider world.

With 2,359 seats the London Coliseum is one of the largest theatres in London. The Grade II listed building is home to both the English National Opera (ENO) and the English National Ballet – two of the country’s foremost classical companies.
