Grand Ballet Meets Live Orchestral Music

The Lübeck Theater presents a new production of the ballet classic Swan Lake in the 2026/27 season. The work is one of the most famous titles in the classical ballet repertoire and is at the center of a special interplay of dance and music in this performance.

On stage, the dance company of the Rostock Volkstheater can be experienced. The dancers shape the new Lübeck production with their ensemble-influenced expression, making the evening a cultural experience for ballet lovers. The performance is accompanied live by the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck.

Ballet Classic with Live Orchestra

The combination of great ballet tradition and live orchestral music gives Swan Lake a special stage effect. The music is created directly in the theater, while the dance company conveys the action and atmosphere through movement, choreography, and scenic design. Thus, the precision of classical dance and the richness of sound of a philharmonic orchestra meet directly.

With the new production, the Lübeck Theater is aimed at everyone who would like to experience the ballet classic for the first time, as well as an audience that wants to rediscover Swan Lake in a current interpretation. The collaboration of the dance company of the Rostock Volkstheater and the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck connects two renowned cultural institutions from Northern Germany.

An Evening for Dance and Music Lovers

The performance takes place at the Lübeck Theater and is accessible as an event indoors regardless of the weather. Information about start times, ticket prices, available seats, and other organizational details can be found on the theater's official production and ticket page.
