Imperial Classical Ballet brings its touring production of Swan Lake, with Tchaikovsky's score performed live, to the New Theatre Royal.
Imperial Classical Ballet bring Swan Lake to the New Theatre Royal on Tuesday 3 November, part of their Autumn 2026 tour. It's a return to Lincoln for the company, which has toured the city before.
If you're not familiar with the story, it's one of the big ones. Princess Odette is cursed to live as a swan by day and a woman by night, and Prince Siegfried vows to break the spell. But the sorcerer Rothbart and his daughter Odile have a deception planned, and the plot thickens from there. Tchaikovsky's score is performed live, so you'll have the music running right alongside the dancing rather than a recording.
The production is presented in the region by Amande Concerts, the company behind the Classical Ballet and Opera House brand. They bring over 200 classical shows a year to the Lincoln area, and Swan Lake sits alongside other titles they've toured here: The Nutcracker, Giselle, Romeo & Juliet, Sleeping Beauty and Don Quixote, as well as operas like Carmen, La Traviata and Madama Butterfly.
