Introduction and prices

Swan Lake is one of the most loved of all classical ballets. It has that magical combination of Tchaikovsky's music, a compelling story of tragic romance and choreography that allows the very best dancers to show just how mesmerising they can be. The new Royal Ballet Season opens with a revival of Anthony Dowell's romantic production whose designs were inspired by Imperial Russia of 1895, when the ballet was first performed.

Against this atmospheric setting, Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's choreography provides an opportunity to see great dance partnerships in the leading roles and the whole Company in the dance ensembles. The ethereal forms of the swans, illuminated by moonlight, the charged solos for the Prince and Odette and her alter-ego Odile, the machinations of Von Rothbart and the colour of a palace ball - all combine with glorious music in an evening of inspiration and romance.

Balconies Restaurant

The Balconies Restaurant opens with the House an hour and a half before the curtain rises.
The ultimate complement to the very best in ballet and opera with tables for dinner just a few paces from the auditorium on the spectacular balconies. A two or three course meal served with the buzz of the bar below and the amazing domed roof overhead.

This grand, majestic venue is ideally suited to business entertaining or any other special occasion.

For a leisurely dinner we recommend you dine pre-performance, have your starter and main courses and return to the same table at the interval for your dessert.
