REVIEW: Swan Lake in-the-round

Reading Time: 2 minutesSwan Lake in-the-round at the Royal Albert Hall, choreographed by Derek Deane, involves 60 swans and is divided into four acts. Though initially skeptical at quite this many sections to the performance, they each feel the perfect length, with a short pause following act one and intervals after the second and third acts. As each act concludes the audience is left marveling at the beautiful choreography and phenomenal dancers, but every section is more mesmerising than the last, with new costumes and featured dancers bringing exciting perspectives and storytelling. Performing in the round allows the audience to watch each individual dancer whilst also seeing them flawlessly come together to create an ensemble.
