SUMMARY:Swan Lake
DESCRIPTION:SWAN LAKE\n\n\n\n\nDate:  April 30\n\n\n\n\nPLACE:  BJCC CONCERT HALL\n\n\n\n\nSwan Lake returns as Alabama Ballet celebrates the 150th anniversary of this iconic ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score\, the ballet tells a haunting story of love and betrayal between Prince Siegfried and Odette\, a young woman bound by a sorcerer’s curse. \nBy night\, Odette is human; by day\, she is transformed into a swan\, living beside a moonlit lake. When Siegfried vows his devotion\, hope for her freedom appears within reach. Deception and illusion soon test that promise\, placing love and loyalty at risk. \nRichly atmospheric staging and sweeping choreography bring this timeless tale to life. Rooted in classical tradition\, the ballet blends romance\, drama\, and fantasy. Swan Lake continues to captivate audiences as one of the most enduring works in the ballet repertoire. \nBecause this is an educational performance\, the ballet has a couple of rules for reservations: \n\nno more than one chaperone per student\nno children aged 4 and under are allowed to attend\n\nAdmission Costs: \nStudents are FREE\nAdults are $29 (and 1 supervising adult is required per ticket order) \nEssential families should use the discount code on their Member Pages. \nSECURE ADMISSIONS NOW
