Classical ballet and opera bring Swan Lake and The Nutcracker to Victoria Theater Halifax this fall

This growing company will also be accompanied by an orchestra made up of more than 30 musicians.

Swan Lake: A Timeless Ballet with Exquisite Dance will be at the Victoria Theater Halifax on Wednesday, October 19. Swan Lake is the fascinating legend of a tragic romance in which a princess, Odette, is transformed into a swan by an evil curse. Prince Siegfried stumbles upon a flock of swans while hunting. When one of the swans transforms into a beautiful young woman, he is instantly captivated – will his love prove strong enough to break the evil spell she has suffered?

From the opulent splendor of the palace ballroom to the moonlit lake where majestic swans glide in perfect formation, this riveting tale of tragic romance has it all. Swan Lake captures, like no other ballet, the full range of human emotions – from hope to despair, from terror to tenderness, from melancholy to ecstasy. A wonderful evening that you will remember long after the final curtain has fallen.

The Nutcracker is the most famous ballet in the world and will be presented at the Victoria Theater Halifax on Monday October 31st. Snow showers, sweets, princes, magic and love are just some of the elements that will come together. A very accessible ballet, filled with familiar music such as the Waltz of the Flowers and the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

This ballet continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of all generations around the world. It is a truly captivating play, a wonderful introduction to ballet while retaining its appeal for all who know it.
