Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake
Synopsis
2020 DIGITAL SEASON | 25 JUNE 2020 Expires 5pm (AEST) Thursday 9 July 2020 This production is brought to you free by our Production Partner Silversea. Graeme Murphyâs modern-day classic is a Swan Lake for the 21st century, charged with sensuality and heartbreak. The Australian Balletâs most performed and most successful work has swept the world before it, reaping standing ovations and storms of tears in London, Paris, Tokyo and New York. The romance of Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried is updated (and complicated) to a contemporary love triangle with the addition of the Baroness von Rothbart, a slinky mistress who has no intention of releasing her freshly married lover. Murphyâs breathtaking pas de deux and massed swans are framed by legendary designer Kristian Fredriksonâs darkly sparkling lake, contrasted with the glittering magnificence of regal weddings and ballrooms. This is Swan Lake as youâve never seen it before.
