The renowned State Ballet of Georgia is to present Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s classic “Swan Lake” at Daning Theater in November.
It is listed as a program on the 21st China Shanghai International Arts Festival, which runs from October 18 to November 17.

“Dance of the Little Swans” in Act 1 and “32 Fouettes” of the black swan in Act 2 are two of the very best scenes in the history of world ballet. This edition will feature fascinating dance moves and spectacular settings. The show’s artistic director is famous ballerina Nina Ananiashvili, who has garnered many prestigious awards of ballet worldwide.
