Swan Lake
Russian State Ballet and Opera House presents Swan Lake

Choreography: Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov
The world famous Russian State Ballet and Opera House dates back to 1958. After its foundation the theatre rapidly developed its broad repertoire which now includes world’s famous masterpieces in field of opera and ballet.
The Premiere of Swan Lake transforms the classical ballet into a fairy-tale. Featuring a timeless score from incredible composer Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake is a certified classic, replete with evocative music and beautiful dance. The ballet has captured the imagination of many generations over the years and continues to attract audiences worldwide, full of mystery and romance.
A compelling legend of tragic romance tells story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil curse, and choreography that allows the very best dancers to show just how impressive they can be. Swan Lake is considered by many to be one of the greatest classical ballets of all time.

After a period of partial closure the Towngate re-opened fully in summer 2006 as an important feature of Basildon Council's modern cultural strategy.
Although the Towngate Theatre was built as recently as the late 1980s, its main auditorium follows the traditional horse-shoe design seen in many theatres built during the Georgian period. However, it is possible to quickly remove and store the entire 232 stalls seats under the main stage, creating a massive 378 square metre flat floor area suitable for all sorts of occasions.
