Swan Lake

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical event: “Swan Lake” from The Royal Ballet showing May 19 and 23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Princess Odette is bound by a curse, turned into a swan by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. The spell can only be broken by a pledge of eternal love. When she meets Prince Siegfried, he is immediately enamoured by her fragile beauty and pledges to free her. But freedom is not promised for Odette as Von Rothbart conspires to thwart the lovers’ plans.

Liam Scarlett’s production for The Royal Ballet brings together Tchaikovsky’s towering score and John Macfarlane’s picturesque designs to create an enduring ballet spectacle of love, treachery and forgiveness.

The Royal Opera House cinema broadcasts offer audiences the best seat in the house, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. Audiences are never far from a performance at the Royal Opera House.

“Swan Lake” is generously sponsored by Rose Borne and Bonny Singer.

“Swan Lake” from The Royal Ballet will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Wednesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 23 at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.
