English National Ballet's Swan Lake at Milton Keynes Theatre


It was seven years ago that we went to see English National Ballet's Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall. But this time we were up close in the sixth row and the performance seemed as fresh as ever. It seems that ENB now visit MK every November, we saw Sleeping Beauty  here two years ago.

Everything about the production was absolutely first class. The superb dancing of the principals was matched by the excellence of the twenty four swans. Their ensemble movement was something to behold. The orchestra was brilliant (well they were only just in front of us. I had a really close view of one clarinetist and the percussion. Add in the terrific sets and lighting, this was an evening to remember.
