Summary
Céline Gittens dances the dual role of Odette and Odile in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of Tchaikovsky’s classic, accompanied by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia.
Why it's fantastic
You will recognize the haunting, fragile oboe melody immediately as the tragic swan queen makes her first appearance on the moonlit lake. This traditional staging gives you the full Tchaikovsky experience, balancing delicate white tutus with a dark, folk-infused story that remains the definitive entry point for any newcomer.
