Swan Lake | The Australian Ballet Print
Swan Lake is one of the world’s favourite ballets and this dazzling version –  created by Australian choreographer Graeme Murphy – is one of our most successful productions ever.

It’s not hard to see why. Set to Tchaikovsky’s immortal music, this spectacular interpretation features a contemporary storyline full of drama, wit and passion. Murphy has brought the spirit and scale of classical ballet into the 21st century with extraordinary results.

Audiences and critics in London, Cardiff, Shanghai and Tokyo have agreed. Now it’s your turn to either discover – or re-visit – the charms of this multi-award winning ballet!

“… a treat for ballet virgins and connoisseurs alike.” The Independent, UK

"... one of the most outstanding [pieces of] choreography of the last decade." The Daily Telegraph

“… exhilarating, absorbing, technically demanding and theatrically seductive.” Sydney Morning Herald
