At the The Russian State Ballet and Opera House performing Swan Lake in Swansea Grand Theatre Dec 5th




I was very excited to be invited to capture The Russian State Ballet and Opera House performing to a Large Live 30 piece Orchestra last night as Swansea Grand Theatre.

A beautiful production with superb dancers, Swan Lake was a real pleasure to capture and can't wait to paint. Surrounded by white tutus I particularly liked these costumes as the skirts were a little longer and reminded me of Degas paintings. Very pretty and inspiring.

Take from Interview with South Wales Evening Post
Former Bolshoi Theatre Ballet dancer Konstantin Uralsky was directing The Russian State Ballet and Opera House in a spellbinding new production of Tchaikovsky’s perennial favourite Swan Lake at Swansea Grand Theatre.
This timeless fairytale of good versus evil will be played out by some of the most talented Russian dancers on tour, backed up by a gigantic orchestra of over 30 musicians.
“The Russian State Ballet and Opera House was founded to represent quality and passion for ballet and opera at the highest level,” says producer Alexej Ignatow.
“Every year we aim to bring a different artist to the UK, which means that although you may have seen a Swan Lake ballet before — next time the set, costumes, artists and even choreography will be different. It will feel like a different show altogether, but still with the same high level of quality.”
