Swan Lake? Oh, just your classic tale of a playboy prince who falls in love with a swan who turns out to be the cursed princess Odette, who he then confuses for another swan, Odile, whose dad is the dastardly sorcerer who caused all the trouble to begin with. If any of that sounds familiar, you’ve probably seen Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, or maybe heard Tchaikovsky’s enduring score. [Editor’s note: Or seen animated classic Barbie of Swan Lake.] The State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine, currently touring North America, brings this much-loved ballet to Bass Concert Hall for one night only. – Kimberley Jones
