The final scene opens to 24 swans emerging from the fog. A visually stunning moment, and a tough breathing act for the dancers!

Watch them “dive” into the fog at the last possible second before the curtain rises. Then, hear the “oohs” and “ahhs” from the audience.

This morning, we welcomed over 800 area school children and seniors to our in-theater outreach performance of Swan Lake. There’s nothing quite like seeing students experience the magic of ballet for the first time! 🤩

We’re so grateful to the Gilmore Foundation for their funding support, which made it possible to offer free tickets and provide meaningful exposure to the arts to those who would otherwise not have access.
