Varna International Ballet and Orchestra bring Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake to life on stage, as part of the company's 2027 UK national tour.
Varna International Ballet bring Swan Lake to Hull New Theatre on Monday 25 January 2027, as part of their UK national tour. It's the romantic classic most of us know by name, set to Tchaikovsky's score, and it runs from the splendour of the palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where the swans glide.
The production centres on the dual role of Odette and Odile—the swan queen and her double in black tulle—which is one of ballet's most demanding technical challenges, as the same dancer takes on both parts. The choreography draws on the work of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, with additions by Sergei Bobrov and Natalia Matus-Marchuk.
Varna International Ballet was founded in 1947 and has built its reputation on award-winning soloists and a large corps de ballet. This performance is part of their 2027 UK tour, so they'll be bringing the full company and orchestra with them. Sergei Bobrov is the company's Artistic Director, and Filippo Dessi is the Music Director and Chief Conductor, who'll be leading the orchestra through Tchaikovsky's score.
