They are northern Nevada’s largest company under the instruction of a professional faculty with years of performing experience in renowned metropolitan ballet and production companies across the United States and Europe.
The Reno Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the haunting score to this wonderful ballet with Laura Jackson conducting. Re-staged and re-choreographed by Alexander Van Alstyne, Swan Lake is the story of Odette who is turned into a swan by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. She tells the handsome Prince Siegfried that the only way the spell can be broken is if a man, pure in heart, pledges his love to her. Von Rothbart tries to keep the two apart, but in the end they ascend to the heavens above Swan Lake.
Professional dancers from Ballet San Antonio will star in the lead roles. The large cast includes many talented dancers from four different ballet studios in the Reno area.
