About Swan Lake
Anne Woolliams’ treasured production of Swan Lake takes flight once more in 2027, marking 50 years in The Australian Ballet’s repertoire. Crafted with visionary precision in 1977 by Woolliams and reimagined in 2023 by Artistic Director David Hallberg, the updated technical elements ensure the legacy of the original while bringing it into the 21st century.
A time-honoured masterpiece and enduring part of the Company’s history, Swan Lake continues to enchant audiences with its poignant score by Tchaikovsky and themes of yearning, betrayal and sacrifice. Whether you’re rediscovering the classic or experiencing it for the very first time, Swan Lake is the ultimate bucket-list ballet.
