The Largest Swan Lake in the World

Acclaimed dance sensation returns to The Hague

After its immense success in 2017, with sold-out performances, the renowned Shanghai Ballet returns to The Hague in 2026 with The World's Greatest Swan Lake. Once again, audiences in The Hague will embrace this excellent performance, which has received rave reviews worldwide.

Thousands of performances of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece have been staged in Swan Lake's 140-year history, but this version by British ballet maestro Derek Deane stands out in a league of its own. Featuring no fewer than 48 swans instead of the usual 24, and with its exceptional quality, this performance is an unparalleled experience. The beautiful "love birds" create enchanting tableaus, transforming into homogeneous, ever-changing formations, like Degas-esque paintings.

With this almost otherworldly production, China proves that it also belongs to the world's top in the field of classical ballet.

Let yourself be carried away by this beautiful ballet and order your tickets now!
