October 31 Swan Lake ballet in Cartagena
The Ballet of Kiev at the Batel auditorium in Cartagena
Two years ago, shortly after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the Kiev Ballet embarked on its first tour of Spain, and following the huge success of that visit they are returning in 2024 to raise more funds for the emergency work being carried out by UNICEF in their home country.
On this occasion the ballet chosen is Swan Lake, with score by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa. It was this version which rescued the music from relative obscurity in Saint Petersburg 1895, after the initial performances in 1877 were a flop among the theatregoers of Moscow.
The main protagonists of the ballet are the characters of Prince Siegfried, Odette, who has been transformed into a swan by the spell of the evil Von Rothbart, and Odile, the black swan.
The performance at the Auditorio El Batel in Cartagena on 31st October begins at 21.00 with tickets on sale at between 25 and 37 euros and available online here.
