Swan Lake
Repertoire
Performers
- TBC conductor*
- Zlatomir Fung cello
Swan Lake might be a ballet about black magic and doomed love, but the real sorcery comes from Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score.
A handsome prince, a wicked wizard and a swan princess: Swan Lake might be a ballet about black magic and doomed love, but the real sorcery comes from Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score. That’s the climax of this concert – but make no mistake, tonight there’s wonder from first note to last. Weber’s fairytale overture opens the portals of enchantment, and the award-winning young American cellist Zlatomir Fung sprinkles his own brand of stardust on the delightful Rococo Variations. Tchaikovsky meets Mozart, with a twinkle in his eye.
*Following the sad news of Sir Andrew Davis’s death on 20 April, we will be arranging a new conductor for this concert and will be able to share this news in due course. Our thoughts are with Sir Andrew’s loved ones at this time.
