Hanoi Opera House to feature “Swan Lake” tomorrow

A rendition of the famous ballet “Swan Lake”, presented by Russian and Vietnamese artists, is scheduled for 8:00 PM on April 4^th, 2025, at the Hanoi Opera House, located at No. 1 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi. This performance will feature Act II of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece, adapted by renowned Vietnamese choreographer Kieu Ngan.

The ballet is part of a spring gala concert that highlights collaboration between Vietnamese and Russian performers. The first segment of this one-night event will showcase concertos by iconic composers such as Antonio Vivaldi, Felix Mendelssohn, and Frederic Chopin. It will feature talented artists including conductor Mikhail Shcherbakov, pianists Irina Skobliakova and Tran Thu Ha, alongside violinist Bui Tri Dien.

Currently, ballet continues to be underrepresented in Vietnam, with a limited performance environment and few opportunities for ballet artists to hone their craft. Upcoming performances like this rendition of Swan Lake, which involves professional Russian performers from a country with a rich ballet tradition, present a valuable opportunity for both Vietnamese ballet artists and audiences alike.

Tickets are available for purchase at the Hanoi Opera House, priced from VND 150,000 to VND 500,000.
