The ballet of all ballets with celebrated choreography by Rudolf Nureyev. After his two earlier versions of Swan Lake, Nureyev’s 1984 production for L’Opéra de Paris is considered his definitive and final version. It was performed for the first time at the Royal Swedish Opera in 2021. This is a chance to see this acclaimed production again – a classic ballet saga about good and evil in which love conquers darkness in the end, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s iconic music performed by the Göteborg Opera Orchestra.
