Tchaikovsky on a Thursday- Swan Lake Waltz

Grace Is Thy Name

We went to see the Nashville Ballet perform Swan Lake and this was an amazing night that provided inspiration in the way the dancers moved and the ability to tell such a moving story without words. This was my first ballet in many, many years and I'm so glad I went and experienced the beauty and talent that I witnessed. The way they moved to portray geese were amazing in the way they used their bodies to mimic the movements of geese. The way love shown through the entire production and showed how it can overcome so many things that get in its way.

If you get a chance to see Swan Lake, please do because you won't regret it. Make a whole evening and experience of it. Enjoy some champagne or wine, good food and the person who has your heart and let the music and dance take you to another world.

Swan Lake

We are going to see Swan Lake, performed by the Nashville Ballet, this Saturday. This will be my first visit to the ballet in...umm.....I don't even know how long. I look forward to a fascinating experience and performance. I will let you know what I thought either Sunday or Monday.

Ticket Information

Perhaps the world’s best-known classical ballet, Swan Lake tells the timeless story of love found, lost and recaptured. Featuring a full cast of extraordinary dancers, beautiful sets and choreography, the ballet is accompanied by The Nashville Symphony, performing Tchaikovsky’s enduring score.

In the story, Prince Siegfried falls in love with Princess Odette after watching her beautiful moonlit dance. But Odette is turned into a swan each morning by an evil sorcerer. The spell can be broken only if a prince pledges eternal love to the princess. However, Siegfried is tricked into proclaiming his love for the sorcerer’s own daughter Odile, who is Odette’s evil twin.

For more than a century, Swan Lake has engaged audiences and inspired new generations of dancers, who are challenged by the ballet’s technical demands and full range of human emotions — from hope to despair, terror to tenderness, melancholy to ecstasy.

This project is funded under an agreement with the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission, the Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
