Swan Lake Tickets at London Coliseum

Swan Lake Tickets

Swan Lake is a ballet performed at the London Coliseum by the State Ballet of Georgia, running for 12 performances this July. The production is staged under the artistic direction of Nina Ananiashvili, a former prima ballerina with the Bolshoi Ballet, and follows a sold-out London season in 2024. Tchaikovsky's score carries the full story, as Prince Siegfried falls in love with Odette, the Swan Queen, while the sorcerer Rothbart works against them, a tale that has defined classical ballet since the work's 19th-century origins.

The State Ballet of Georgia bring sumptuous sets and elaborate costumes to the production, with a company described by The New York Times as "versatile and accomplished". The running time is 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one interval.

What to Expect

You follow the full four-act story, from the lakeside pas de deux between Siegfried and Odette to the dramatic confrontation with Rothbart in the final act. The dual role of Odette and Odile, the black swan, sits at the heart of the choreography, asking for both technical precision and dramatic range from the lead ballerina. Tickets cover allocated seating at the London Coliseum, with performances spread across 12 dates in July. The production is suitable for ages 5 and above, and children under 5 are not admitted to the auditorium. For the latest casting, check the booking page.
