A large-scale production of the classic ballet Swan Lake performed by an international cast of dancers, presented by Global Stage Entertainment.
International Ballet Stars bring Swan Lake to Bass Concert Hall on Saturday, April 3, 2027, at 7 PM. It's a one-night-only staging, so if you're going to catch it, this is the only date on the calendar. The production is set to Tchaikovsky's iconic score and features an international cast representing four continents.
It's a large-scale production, with more than 150 handcrafted costumes and richly detailed sets. The artistic direction is by Artem Yachmennikov, a former Principal Dancer of the San Francisco Ballet and the Dutch National Ballet. The performance runs two hours and 15 minutes, including one 20-minute intermission, and is presented by Global Stage Entertainment as part of the Texas Welcomes series.
If you've never seen Swan Lake live, it's a good place to start. The story is a classic—the prince, the swan queen, the betrayal—and Tchaikovsky's music is some of the most recognizable in the ballet repertoire. With a cast drawn from four continents, the production brings together dancers from different traditions for a single night in Austin. The scale is a big part of the draw here, with the costumes and sets filling out the stage rather than just serving as a backdrop.

One more thing to keep in mind: this is a one-night-only event, not a multi-day run, so you'll want to plan around that Saturday evening. The show starts at 7 PM at Bass Concert Hall, and the full experience runs two hours and 15 minutes with a 20-minute intermission.
