The University Ballet of Chicago presents the spellbinding classic Swan Lake. Set in a mystical medieval kingdom, the ballet unfolds between a lavish royal palace and a hauntingly beautiful lake. The story follows Prince Siegfried as he encounters Odette, a princess cursed by an evil sorcerer to live as a swan by day and a human by night. Together, Odette and Siegfried face love, deception, betrayal, and dark enchantment. Our production features over 70 dancers from beginner to advanced levels, all members of the UChicago community who have come together to bring this timeless tale of love and tragedy to life. Join us for a captivating evening of sweeping music, iconic choreography, and a journey through palace terraces, shimmering waters, and more.
