Music from Swan Lake
Music from Swan LakePresented by Saffron Hall
Perhaps the world’s most enduringly popular classical ballet, Swan Lake is a classic fairytale of a lovelorn Prince, an evil sorcerer and a spell that can only be broken by true love. It inspired some of Tchaikovsky’s most sumptuous music, impassioned, delicate and brilliantly coloured. This concert, performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, will feature music from this iconic ballet.*
*Please note that this concert will showcase music from Swan Lake and is not a performance of the ballet itself.
The Variations on a Rococo Theme (on a mock-baroque theme by the composer himself) pay homage to suave eighteenth-century style in a charming, lyrical slice of eighteenth century elegance. More myth and legend shape our curtain-raiser, as the magic of Oberon, King of the Fairies, and his enchanted forest kingdom is perfectly captured by the overture to Weber’s opera.
