World Ballet Company: Swan Lake

World Ballet Company: Swan Lake at First Interstate Center for the Arts

A promise of love becomes a test of faith when Odette is trapped in the form of a swan. World Ballet Company brings Swan Lake to First Interstate Center for the Arts on November 11, 2026, with a live orchestra performing Tchaikovsky’s score. Follow Prince Siegfried into a story where devotion and deception can change a life.

The production pairs 50 international dancers with handcrafted sets and more than 150 hand-sewn costumes. Look for the precision of the Dance of the Little Swans and the Black Swan’s 32 fouettés. Those contrasting passages offer two reasons to watch closely: dancers working together and a soloist taking on a demanding sequence of turns.

If ballet is new to you, begin with the characters rather than worrying about knowing every step. Odette’s curse and Siegfried’s promise give the movement its stakes. For someone who already loves the work, hearing the orchestra alongside the dancers offers another way to follow the relationship between music and performance.

Plan a theater evening with someone who enjoys a story told through movement, or make this your own introduction to classical ballet. The advertised running time is two hours and 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission, and the production is for ages five and older.
