Ballet Enters New Season on September 5 with Swan Lake

The Prague State Opera ballet is opening the new season on Sunday, September 5, with two performances, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., of its production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Pavel Ďumbala’s and Hana Vláčilová’s classically inspired choreography draws consistently on the original concept of Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa. In the afternoon showing, the double-role of Odette/Odile will be danced by Zuzana Hvízdalová, and the ensemble’s new soloist, Michal Krčmář, will create the part of the Prince. The evening performance will feature for the first time as Odette/Odile Prague State Opera soloist Rebecca King, known to regular visitors as Cinderella from Sergei Prokofiev’s eponymous ballet, or as Anastasia from Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty. Dancing opposite her as the Prince will be another new asset to the company’s forces, Filip Veverka, a dancer with a wealth of experience from European and overseas ballet stages.
