Candlelight Ballet: Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake
Composed between 1875 and 1876 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake is one of the most iconic classical works in the history of ballet. It premiered at the renowned Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and now, 147 years later, comes to Madrid with Candlelight Ballet and its magnificent tribute under the glow of candlelight.
