Swan Lake
Program Alexei Ratmansky's

Swan Lake

Apr 29 - May 23, 2027
(Ratmansky / Tchaikovsky)

Ballet’s most iconic love story—reimagined by Alexei Ratmansky with wrenching betrayal and devastating heartbreak.

After two seasons of sold-out performances, Alexei Ratmansky’s Swan Lake returns to South Florida for a limited run. Named ‘Best in Dance’ by The New York Times, this revelatory interpretation takes a classic fairytale to breathtaking new heights.   

Over fifty of Miami City Ballet’s phenomenal dancers take to the stage with masterful expressivity, breathing new life into Prince Siegfried, Princess Odette, and Odile’s story. Performed live by our Miami City Ballet Orchestra, Tchaikovsky’s sweeping score exquisitely complements Ratmansky’s ornate choreography, adorned by resplendent costumes and breathtaking sets.  

A quintessential tale of love, betrayal, and transformation — experience Swan Lake and let your heart take flight like never before.

Miami City Ballet’s production of Alexei Ratmansky’s enthralling ‘Swan Lake’ brings a beloved work into crisp, clean, and musical focus.

...I have the strangest feeling: I’ve finally seen ‘Swan Lake’ and many more people should see it, too.
