16 JANUARY - 16 JANUARY
The timeless masterpiece of classical ballet, Swan Lake, comes to Istanbul with the enchanting interpretation of the State Ballet of Georgia and the Piu Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Levan Jagaev!
Brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable music, Swan Lake has captivated audiences on the world’s most prestigious stages for nearly 150 years with its timeless story of love, magic, betrayal and fate. First performed at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1877, the work is now considered one of the most iconic masterpieces of classical ballet.
The love between Princess Odette, transformed into a swan by the curse of the evil sorcerer Rothbart, and Prince Siegfried faces a great test with the arrival of Odile, Odette’s dark reflection.

Bringing its rich ballet tradition to stages around the world, the State Ballet of Georgia has been under the artistic direction of world-renowned prima ballerina Nina Ananiashvili since 2004. A former principal ballerina of the Bolshoi Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, Ananiashvili was named among “the 12 greatest ballerinas of all time” by The Daily Telegraph.
For its Istanbul performances, Tchaikovsky’s timeless music will come to life through a live performance by the Piu Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Levan Jagaev, bringing ballet and symphony together on the same stage.
Having performed on major stages around the world as part of its international tours, the company received the Herald Angels Award at the 2008 Edinburgh International Festival and received widespread acclaim for its Swan Lake production at the London Coliseum in 2024.
