Mexico City Ballet Reimagines Swan Lake for All Ages
Mexico City Ballet presents "Báilame un cuento: Swan Lake," a narrated version for families. Features international stars & live orchestra. Sun, May 18, 5 PM at Auditorio Nacional.
Get ready for tutus, Tchaikovsky, and a touch of storytelling magic as the Ballet de la Ciudad de México presents a fresh take on a timeless classic. Their upcoming production, "Báilame un cuento: El Lago de los Cisnes" (Dance me a story: Swan Lake), promises to enchant audiences at the prestigious Auditorio Nacional this May.
Forget stuffy silences and impenetrable plots; this Swan Lake is designed with clarity and family appeal firmly in mind. Part of the company's "Báilame un cuento" series, the production cleverly introduces a Narrator, played by actor Enrique Chi in the guise of a charming old Theatre Foreman ('Jefe de Foro'). He'll guide theatregoers, young and old, through the beloved fairytale of Princess Odette, the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart, and the lovestruck Prince Siegfried, making the intricate story accessible without sacrificing its inherent drama and beauty.
