Stockton will host a world-class performance of Swan Lake by the State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine on May 4, 2025, at the Bob Hope Theatre. This iconic ballet, featuring the timeless music of P. Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, promises to be an unforgettable evening of artistry and storytelling.
As part of its North American tour, the State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine’s Swan Lake showcases a newly reimagined stage production that first premiered in Ukraine to sold-out audiences in 2020. The performance features a ballet troupe of 50 dancers and over 200 custom-designed costumes, immersing audiences in the romance and tragedy of the timeless love story.
“This is a story for all ages. If you believe in a dream, the dream can come true,” said Tour Producer Michael Art. “Swan Lake has wonderful music—complex, philosophical, with love and tragedy. It has become one of the most striking ballets in our repertoire.”
The production aims to transport audiences into a magical world, filled with vibrant costumes, stunning scenery, and an enchanting atmosphere. “Our main task is for the audience to get drunk on this amazing performance and want to come to the theater again,” said the artistic team.
Tickets are available for $53.55, and the show runs from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Bob Hope Theatre, located at 242 East Main Street in Stockton. This is an event not to be missed by ballet lovers and newcomers alike.
