Peace Concert Hall
Ballet’s greatest love story debuts on the Peace Center stage when International Ballet presents Swan Lake accompanied by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra. Deeply moving and visually stunning, Swan Lake is the quintessential classical ballet, steeped in themes of temptation, jealousy, deception, and drama. Set against Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, this story of love and betrayal features internationally acclaimed principal guest artists Katherine Barkman and Esteban Hernández from San Francisco Ballet who will dazzle in the roles of Odette/Odile and Prince Siegfried. The beautiful swan corps de ballet will be made up of our local pre-professional IB company dancers joined by additional guests in a performance that is not to be missed!
