This stunning two-act ballet brings Tchaikovsky’s cherished score to life alongside iconic choreography including “Waltz of the Snowflakes,” “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” and “Waltz of the Flowers.” Performances will take place at 2:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Then, on Wednesday, March 11at 7:00 p.m., journey into a dreamlike world of love, magic, and intrigue with Swan Lake. Set to Tchaikovsky’s timeless score and choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, this two-act show features over 200 custom-designed scenery pieces, spectacular choreography, and a dazzling ensemble of stars from all over the world.
