Swan Lake in Portsmouth 2026: Get your tickets for Varna International Ballet with live orchestra

Raymond Gubbay presents Swan Lake performed by Varna International Ballet accompanied by a live orchestra -the Varna International Ballet Orchestra.

On February 15 at the King’s Theatre, Portsmouth you can enjoy this spectacle at 2pm and 5:30pm

The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and unforgettable score, with choreography by Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov, Sergey Bobrov and Natalia Matus-Marchuk.

From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tulle as she seduces the Prince by spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound purity of the swan queen, Odette as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical challenges.
