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

Witnessing Céline Gittens tackle the dual roles of the white and black swans remains a definitive rite of passage for any dance lover.
