Watch Party: Swan Lake

May 21, 2020 – Aug 16, 2021
Rosebery Ave, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 4TN, UK

Derek Deane’s beautiful production of Swan Lake hews to the traditional, without psychological fuss. Over 20 years old, it’s a perennial favorite, and this is the first time it’s ever been streamed in full. The performance stars Jurgita Dronina as Odette/Odile and Isaac Hernández as Prince Siegfried, and was recorded at the Liverpool Empire in 2018 as part of the English National Ballet’s annual autumn U.K. tour. On May 27, it premieres at seven P.M. B.S.T. (which is two P.M. E.S.T.). Don’t forget to check out the other offerings on the ENB website. From online ballet classes—there’s even a chair-based ballet class!—to interviews and film clips honoring the company’s 70th anniversary, there’s something for everyone. —L.J.
