Where to Sit for Swan Lake
The lakeside scenes are about the patterns the swans make, so a seat a little above the stage shows them best: the front of the Dress Circle is the pick. The centre Stalls bring you closest to the dancers. Seat by seat advice is in our London Coliseum guide.
Who's Swan Lake For?
Anyone who wants the classic: the white swans, the black swan, Tchaikovsky's music played live by a full orchestra. It's also a good first ballet for children, with an age guide of 5+.
The company is new to Britain. Ballet de Santiago comes from Santiago, Chile, and is led by César Morales, who danced as a principal with English National Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet before going home to run it.
The Story
Prince Siegfried meets Odette by a lake at night. She is a princess under a sorcerer's curse, a swan by day and a woman only after dark, and a promise of true love can set her free. The sorcerer, Rothbart, has other plans, and sends his daughter disguised as Odette to trick the prince into breaking his word.
