If you’ve ever been curious about ballet, or just need a cultural night out that’s a little different from your usual weekend plans, we’ve found the perfect event for you. The iconic Swan Lake is coming to Abu Dhabi, performed by the Moscow Ballet La Classique at the Abu Dhabi National Theatre for two exclusive shows on 25 and 26 October 2024


Yes, Swan Lake, in Abu Dhabi! That beautiful, tragic tale of love, magic, and transformation, featuring elegant swans, dramatic duels, and a haunting Tchaikovsky score that’ll send shivers down your spine (in the best way). Even if you’re not a regular at ballet performances, this is one that’s worth getting dressed up for.


Why You’ll Want to Be There

Let’s start with the obvious—Moscow Ballet La Classique is world-renowned for a reason. They’ve been bringing traditional Russian ballet to the stage since 1990, and they do it with the kind of grace and grandeur that makes you forget you're watching people dance on stage. Think lush costumes, set designs that look straight out of a fairytale, and a level of technique that’s hard to rival.


Swan Lake isn’t just any ballet either. It’s the ultimate in classical dance. You’ll follow the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan, and her tragic romance with Prince Siegfried. Spoiler alert: it’s not a happy ending, but the beauty of the storytelling through movement and music is guaranteed to sweep you away.


Two Shows

The Moscow Ballet La Classique will only be in town for two performances—Friday, 25 October at 8pm, and Saturday, 26 October at 3pm. If you’ve got a packed schedule, the Saturday matinee is a great option.
