Win Passes to ‘Swan Lake’ Screening!

If you are obsessed with ballet and fantasize of one day performing in one of the great classics, then you don’t want to miss the screening of Bolshoi Ballet’s unbelievably gorgeous Swan Lake, in select Australian cinemas from March 28.

Captured live direct from Moscow, this production is a new choreographic version by Yuri Grigorovich and is performed by the company for which the ballet was originally created in 1877. This version features Principals Denis Rodkin and Svetlana Zakharova and the famous Bolshoi Corps de Ballet.
