This classic fairytale represents the battle between good and evil, and the attempt of love to conquer all. The magic of the lakes, forests and palaces is brought to life with glittering designs by John Macfarlane and a sublime score by Tchaikovsky. The Royal Ballet’s sumptuous production of Swan Lake returns to the Royal Opera House stage after its 2020 revival was interrupted by the pandemic’s closure of theatres. This classic of the repertory is testament to the late choreographer Liam Scarlett’s abiding love of classicism and innate musicality, which shine through this production.

Theatr Bryn Terfel
£14 / £12
Ludo by Caroline Finn
Codi by Anthony Matsena
Wild Thoughts by Andrea Costanzo Martini
Dance to reconnect us to our theatres, ourselves and… One Another
Ludo by Caroline Finn
A darkly funny and high-energy dance about of the importance of play. As adults we rarely make time to play, Ludo invites you to rediscover the spontaneous delights of childhood and the thrill of twisted mind games. Swap your day job for the dressing up box and escape into a world of fantastical playgrounds and wild, unbridled imagination.
Codi by Anthony Matsena
Codi emerges from the ashes to inspire us in 2022 with a powerful and energetic story about the strength in communities banding together to tackle the hardships of life through troubled times. Built on the foundations of Welsh mining stories told though dance, song, poetry and theatre, the audience is wrapped in a blanket of darkness before being led towards a light of hope and celebration.
A New Work By Andrea Costanzo Martini
Expect fearless, impressive dance full of playful wit that calls our bodies back to movement, pleasure, and joy. Working in the UK for the first time, Martini will reintroduce us to our long-missed stages, offering the theatre as places to gather, express ourselves and to celebrate One Another.
Warnings
The show may not be suitable for very young children, parent discretion is advised.
There is flashing lights (not strobe), darkness, loud noises and haze in One Another as well as dancers in their underwear.
