The BBC have announced their programme of festive content for 2024 including the first television broadcast of English National Ballet’s Swan Lake in-the-round, choreographed by Derek Deane.
More than one hundred dancers take part in this spellbinding production of Swan Lake, filmed on a grand scale at London’s Royal Albert Hall in front of a packed audience earlier this year.
From the spectacle of 60 shimmering swans moving in unison to the captivating romance between Prince Siegfried (Principal Gareth Haw) and the Swan Queen Odette (Lead Principal Sangeun Lee), this is a magical performance celebrating the Company’s 75th season.
With an aerial view of Derek Deane’s exquisite choreography, the performance combines exceptional artistry, gorgeous spectacle and compelling drama. Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score is played live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
