Surely the greatest of all romantic ballets, this captivating story of a beautiful woman transformed into a swan is a heart-rending tribute to the power of love. Swan Lake is a perfect synthesis of choreography and music and, though Tchaikovsky did not live to see it become a success, his first ballet score is now synonymous with ballet itself, inspiring generations of dancers and crossing over into popular culture. In Birmingham, the broadcast will be shown at the Vestavia Hills 10, Patton Creek 15 and Summit 16 Theatres.

Starring: Boris Gruzin, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Natalia Osipova, Matthew Golding
