A PERFECT pre-Christmas treat is a beautiful ballet – and there are two to choose from at Guildford.
The Russian State Ballet and Opera House returns to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre with two classics for the whole family.
Accompanied by a live orchestra, Swan Lake will be gracing the stage on Thursday, November 17, and Sleeping Beauty on Friday, November 18.
A compelling tale of romance and mystery, Swan Lake explores the tale of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer.
From the splendour of the palace ballroom to the moonlit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, Swan Lake is a visual feast.
There is its unforgettable music too, full of romance, intensity and emotion.
Based on the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty follows Princess Aurora who is cursed at her christening to prick her finger one day on a deadly spindle.
Mystery and magic are brought to life against another sublime score from Tchaikovsky.
Both productions promise to capture the imagination of those of all ages.
