Melinda Thompson's KIDS FOR CLASSIC THEATER, KIEL presents:

Prague Festival Ballet
Director: Pavla Červčiková
Schwanensee
Classical Ballet for Children

from 4 years

An evil wizard has turned the beautiful young princess Odette into a swan when she dared to come too close to the shore of his lake. Near the lake lies an old castle, where a beautiful princess lives with her son Siegfried. Prince Siegfried feels magically drawn to the beautiful swans in the lake. He does not suspect that they are actually young girls, all transformed into swans by the evil wizard, and who take on human form for just one hour at midnight. Prince Siegfried falls in love with Princess Odette and learns from her the secret of her transformation, and that she can only be freed from the spell through the love and loyalty of a man...
Thus begins the beautiful fairy tale of Schwanensee, the most beloved ballet classic by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Schwanensee is the most popular ballet of all time. For many, it has become a synonym for ballet. Furthermore, the music of Schwanensee is regarded as one of the most beautiful ballet scores ever.
Here now comes a very special, beautiful version of this ballet classic for all children aged 4 to 94, created for children, yet by no means childish! The endearing performance will be danced for the first time by the Prague Festival Ballet with sophistication and great elegance. Colorful costumes and a creative stage design promise to enchant every child's heart.
The story is brought closer to the audience by the charismatic actress Melinda Thompson as the narrator, who captivates young and old alike with catchy little poems full of wit, charm, and love.
The Prague Festival Ballet with soloists from leading Prague opera houses transports you to the wonderland of the playful and romantic, fairy-tale and dreamy, which should be part of every child's dream! The choreographer is the talented young dancer Pavla Červčiková – her completely new choreography remains entirely in the traditional style of the famous first choreographer of Schwanensee, Marius Petipa, who is widely regarded as the father of classical ballet.

Admission: 5:30 PM
