Elegance - Art of Alexander Ekman: Swan Lake Tchaikovsky

The Elegance Series is a collection of breathtaking Ballet performances from internationally renowned houses with well-loved Dance Stars. They feature productions by the greatest choreographers that we know today and of course the legacy of the legendary Marius Petipa. I wanted to do something big and wild and different. Something with water!” said choreographer Ekman, Alexander and filled the Main Stage at the Oslo Opera House with masses of water. In A Swan Lake, his full-length work created for the Norwegian National Ballet, the dancers are joined on stage by actors, a soprano, musicians and 1,000 rubber ducks. Ekman, Alexander is an internationally acclaimed choreographer, recognised and sought after for his unique ability to pair wit and playfulness. With a score by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson and costumes by Danish fashion designer Henrik Vibskov, A Swan Lake takes a fresh look at Tchaikovsky’s ballet of all ballets.
