Imperial Classical Ballet brings its Swan Lake, 20th Anniversary UK Tour 2026, with Tchaikovsky's score played by a full live orchestra, to the Belgrade Theatre.
Imperial Classical Ballet are bringing Swan Lake to the Belgrade Theatre on Monday 2 November, as part of their Swan Lake — 20th Anniversary UK Tour 2026. The tour marks two decades of the company taking classical art across the UK, with productions reaching thousands of audiences nationwide. It's a full-scale production, performed with a live orchestra, international artists and lavish costumes.
If you're not familiar with the story, it's one of the most famous in the ballet repertoire. Princess Odette is cursed to live as a swan by day and a woman by night, and she's discovered by Prince Siegfried while the sorcerer Rothbart and his daughter Odile plot a deception. Tchaikovsky's score is performed live, so you'll hear the music as it's played, not recorded.
Swan Lake isn't the only thing the company is bringing to the Belgrade. They're also staging The Nutcracker and Giselle here, so if you're planning on seeing more than one, there's a 15% subscription discount when you book all three performances. It's a good way to get a proper run of the classics over the season rather than just a one-off.
