THE world famous Russian Classical Ballet Theatre will be starring at the Cambridge Corn Exchange later this month in a production of one of the most popular ballets - Swan Lake.

For two nights only this spectacular show of fascinating dance and music, will be showcasing the sublime talents of some of the world's top dancers, including Nadezhda and Egor Schepachiov, Maria Poliudova, and Vladimir Statnii.

At the helm of the production is acclaimed producer Ellen Kent, whose recent adaptation of Madama Butterfly won the Best Opera Award.

Considered as one of British theatre's great characters, Ellen has also radically reinstated Swan Lake's original ending - making it a must for theatre lovers all over the country.

Renowned choreographer Radu Poclitaru is also on board, and his creativity and experience has helped Ellen create the dramatic finale she was looking for.

Swan Lake also features an impressive corps de ballet of more than 50 dancers, who offer the best of Russian ballet and an incredible 40 piece orchestra, in what promises to be one of the highlights of the year.

Along with a top cast, Ellen has also invited 18 students from the Bodyworks Dance Studio in Cambridge to join in as ballet extras - which will give them a unique opportunity and fulfil lifelong ambitions.

This is an enchanting, family-orientated show, that is set against the backdrop of German fairytale castles, dense forests, moonlit lakes, and the hauntingly beautiful music of Tchaikovsky.

Swan Lake is an undisputed classic and a favourite for all ages.
