Salt Creek Ballet continues its magnificent family programming with the exciting works of Tchaikovsky's classical masterpiece, Swan Lake featuring international acclaimed principal dancers from Cuban National Ballet and San Francisco Ballet. Salt Creek Ballet’s Swan Lake, produced by Artistic Director Erica De La O and Associate Ballet Director Kristopher Wojtera will be performed at the McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage, on Friday, April 28 at 7 pm & Saturday, April 29 at 1 pm.

Tickets for the 1 pm production of Swan Lake on Saturday, April 29 include admission to the children’s Swan Soiree. The Soiree is a fun, child-focused event included in the ticket price and immediately follows the Saturday show. The event includes an onstage dance lesson, photos with dancers and guest artists and even a goodie bag to take home!

Revered as one of the most famous classics, Swan Lake features opulent designs and beautiful costumes. The romance of Prince Siegfried (performed by Taras Domitro, (Principal with both Cuban National Ballet and San Francisco Ballet), and Swan Queen Odette/Odile, performed by international Principal artist Daynelis Muñoz (Cuban National Ballet, and Mexico Ballet and Tulsa Ballet), will captivate audiences as they battle against the evil sorcerer, Von Rothbart portrayed by Gilbert Kirby, (a graduate in dance from the University of Illinois and Illinois State Dance Theatre).

Experience the magnificent sight of ballerinas in white tutus moving in unison: one of ballet’s most iconic images. Confusion, forgiveness, and a joyous ending with Siegfried and Odette together forever round off the story as one of the most popular and adored ballets by children and adults alike. This production is approximately 1.5 hours with intermission and is appropriate for children 4+.
