Konstantin Tachkin's St Petersburg Ballet Theatre, will come to South Africa direct from critically acclaimed, sold out, tours in Europe. It will perform the full-length, four- act Tchaikovsky classic, Swan Lake, backed by a live orchestra. The production premieres at The Teatro at Montecasino on Wednesday, 10 July 2013. ??The 55-member company now spends many months of every year travelling the world with their magnificent repertoire of full-length classics.
In 2004 and again in 2007, the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre toured South Africa collecting rave reviews and hanging out the "Sold Out" sign at almost every performance. Since ticket sales opened at Computcicket early in March 2013, public demand has been extremely strong.

Not only do The St Petersburg Ballet Theatre bring their troupe of Vaganova trained dancers , they also bring their magnificent scenery; scenery that has audiences applauding even as the curtain rises, along with sumptuous costumes, dozens of dazzling white tutus and hundreds of pink pointe shoes.??"This is truly traditional Russian classical ballet at its very best. It is the real thing on a grand scale. A complete classical full-length work, backed by a live orchestra. It is the world's most-famous ballet, performed by one of Russia's leading classical companies."
Ballet enthusiasts are encouraged to buy their tickets through Computicket. "Don't wait, thinking you have plenty of time, as you will lose out, "says Guild. "If you see only one ballet in your life, let it be this."
