SUWANEE, Ga. | Suwanee Ballet will return to the Sylvia Beard Theater at Buford Community Center with Swan Queen, a shortened version of the classical ballet Swan Lake. The performances will be on April 29 at 6:30 p.m. and April 30, with two performances, at 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Complete with the battle over good and evil played out by the white Swan, the Sorceress, and the black Swan, the ballet features all of the favorite Swan Lake dances performed to the monumental music by Tchaikovsky. The pre-show will delight audiences with a full range of dances: emotional, jazzy, classical, upbeat, and fun. It will be a show that audiences of all ages can enjoy.
Tickets are $18 each and can be purchased at suwaneeperforms.org starting March 18. For those unable to attend in person, live-stream tickets will also be available for each show on the SPA website, suwaneeperforms.org. Live-stream tickets are $15 for one to three viewers.
