Ballets by Lev Ivanov

The internationally acclaimed Imperial Classical Ballet of Ukraine presents three of Tchaikovsky's most loved works over the Christmas holidays at the Athens College Theater (15 Stefanou Delta, Psychiko). "The Nutcracker," "Sleeping Beauty" and "Swan Lake" will capture the magic of Christmas in a celebration of the legendary composer's greatest work.

A Russian ballerina from the world-renowned Mariinsky Theatre dressed in full costume performs scenes from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake… not on stage though, but on the frozen Gulf of Finland.

This is Ilmira Bagrautinova's way of objecting against the construction of a port in Batareinaya Bay, a popular beach about 100 km west of St Petersburg, Russia's second largest city.

Ticket services firm Viva.gr is showing Tchaikovsky's all-time classic "Swan Lake" in a high-definition recording by the Russian Ballet Theater that was performed at the Piraeus Municipal Theater last year, starring Mizinova Liudmila, Odinokova Natalia and Tkachenko Maxim. The video can be viewed at any time through December 31 and the fee is 10 euros.

The Ankara State Opera and Ballet (ADOB) will greet art lovers with the "Swan Lake" ballet, which was composed by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875 and staged for the first time at the Bolshoi Stage in 1877.

Greek National Opera Ballet director Constantinos Rigos takes a fresh approach to Tchaikovsky's all-time classic "Swan Lake" in a brand-new version in which the pioneering choreographer moves the action to a post-apocalyptic world where the characters are environmental refugees.

"Troy," one of the most important productions of Turkey's State Opera and Ballet (DOB) in 2018, will open to the world and meet opera lovers in Moscow's famous Bolshoi Theater before visiting Berlin later.
