Het zwanenmeer
A nostalgic classical night.
The world-famous story of Swan Lake has all the elements of a classic Christmas fairy tale: an evil sorcerer, a prince, and a girl who turns into a swan. This spectacular Christmas performance brings the story to life with actors, puppets in a miniature world, and the full orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's iconic music. A magical holiday experience for the whole family. The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra performs a selection from the masterpiece under the direction of Samy Rachid, featuring a creative team including director Fons Merkies and scenographer Cynthia Borst.
