Burlington Civic Music Presents - Moscow Festival Ballet, Swan Lake

This ballet company brought nearly 1,300 people to its feet at Burlington Memorial Auditorium in January 2016 with its performance of Cinderella, and there is little doubt their presentation of the renowned and complex ballet Swan Lake will do the same. Dance must tell its story without words. The dancers' artistry of movement and acting ability results from their classical training in the Bolshoi technique and hours of practice. The skillful choreography of Petipa set to the swells of Tchaikovsky's score brings to life this classic story of celebration and romantic tragedy.

All Civic Music performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and are at Burlington Memorial Auditorium, 200 Front Street, Burlington, Iowa. For more information about season tickets, call 319-752-0336 or visit www.BurlCivicMusic.com.
