The choreographer that brought us Romeo & Juliet last season returns with an original ballet that will captivate audiences! Mario Radacovsky returns to Grand Rapids to explore the most famous dichotomy in ballet history. Since the 1877 introduction of Swan Lake's White Swan (Odette) and Black Swan (Odile), artists, scholars and the general public have become enthralled with the commentary of these two glamorized, polarized characters. Join us for the close of our 40th anniversary season with a fresh look at this contradiction of characters in an original ballet by Mario Radacovksy.
