Bolshoi Ballet guests & extra performance announced for St Petersburg Ballet's SWAN LAKE at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre

Due to popular demand on their second and much-anticipated visit to Bord Gáis Energy  Theatre, St Petersburg Ballet Theatre have announced an additional performance of Swan Lake (now running from 29 March-3 April), along with some guest artists.

St  Petersburg Ballet Theatre will be joined in Dublin by guest artists from Russia’s legendary Bolshoi Ballet – Principal Dancers Anna Nikulina and Alexander Volchkov. 

Nikulina and Volchkov will perform the lead roles at select performances. They will star along with St Petersburg Ballet’s own Prima Ballerina Irina Kolesnikova.

The St Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s Swan Lake is truly Russian classical ballet as it was meant to  be seen, with magnificent painted sets, glorious costumes, guest artists from the Bolshoi Ballet  and accompanied by the Irish National Opera, who will be playing Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.  

Arguably the world’s most loved ballet, Swan Lake tells the immortal love story of Prince  Siegfried and Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. The tale will be  brought to life by St Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s beautiful Vaganova-trained dancers. St  Petersburg Ballet Theatre are renowned for performing classical masterpieces around the  world, including Giselle, Don Quixote, The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty.
