Regarded as the top Asian ballet company Universal Ballet comes to Vancouver with Swan Lake. Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov’s production of Swan Lake was first performed by Universal Ballet in 1992 and was proclaimed the most spectacular dance production the same year. Swan Lake is known as one of the masterpieces of classical ballet, not only is it a lavish production with beautiful sets and costumes, but it also calls for high-level technique and only major ballet troupes can attempt to stage this grand work.
