Swan Lake By Candlelight

Candlelight Ballet: Swan Lake turns familiar venues into something closer to a dream — hundreds of flickering candles, hushed acoustics, and Tchaikovsky's most haunting music drifting through the glow.

Swan Lake by candlelight draws you into Odette's world through the Swan Theme, the Dance of the Little Swans, the Act II Waltz, and the Pas de Deux. Performed by gifted local string quartets or pianists, each evening may also weave in works by complementary composers — Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Massenet — to deepen the spell.

Programs, featured composers, running times, and venue rules vary by city, so check the page for your chosen date before arriving.

These nights tend to slip away quietly — reserve yours while the candles are still lit.
