My First Ballet: Swan Lake

A first introduction to the magical world of ballet

Experience the thrill of the world’s most famous ballet with your little ones, in this specially adapted version for children aged three upwards.

The magician Rothbart has turned the princess Odette into a swan: only at night can she return to human form. Will Prince Siegfried be able to save her, or will he fall for Rothbart’s sorcery?

With a narrator to help follow the story, a shortened version of Tchaikovsky’s wonderful music, beautiful dancing by students from English National Ballet School, and all the elegant costumes you could wish for, My First Ballet: Swan Lake is the perfect introduction to the joy of live ballet.

Since its creation in 2012, over 350,000 people have enjoyed English National Ballet’s My First Ballet series. This fantastic day out for the family returns to the Peacock Theatre in Spring 2025.

Based on the original production choreographed by Antonio Castilla with additional choreography by English National Ballet School Director, Lynne Charles.
