Swan Lake at the Wilson Center

Bring your family to experience the classic ballet Swan Lake, performed by the United European Ballet Company. This full-length production features Tchaikovsky's beloved music alongside elegant choreography, hand-painted scenery, and beautiful costumes. The story follows a prince and a princess who has been enchanted into a swan form by a curse, told entirely through dance, music, and theatrical design. It's a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to classical ballet and live performance in a professional setting. This performance works best for school-age children who are comfortable sitting through a longer show (running about two hours). Ticket prices vary, so you can check the Wilson Center's ticketing website to find options that work for your family. The evening combines storytelling, artistry, and professional dancers in one elegant experience—a great way to make a special night out together.
