The State Ballet of Georgia’s Swan Lake cast and creative team

A huge cast weaves this magical tale. As the Director of State Ballet of Georgia, Nina Ananiashvili, said: ‘Swan Lake is one of our best repertoires. It combines elaborate costumes, stunning choreography, exquisite ornaments and the young generation of dancers with Georgian characteristics. Swan Lake has always had an important place in my career. It was the first ballet that I performed in the Bolshoi Theatre and was my first and final significant performance at American Ballet Theater. I can't wait to share it with audiences in London for the first time.'

The Choreography is by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, the show is staged by Alexei Fadeyechev and Nina Ananiashvili, and the music comes from Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky.
