Kept on their toes: St Petersburg Ballet postpones ‘Swan Lake’ to 2022
Artscape and the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre have announced that the South African season of ‘Swan Lake’ has been rescheduled to 2022.
South African ballet lovers who were eager to see the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre production of
Swan Lake will now have to wait even longer, as the dancers are being kept on their toes by the coronavirus pandemic.
When COVID-19 began in March 2020, Artscape was only weeks away from hosting the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre. Since then, it had been an extraordinary challenge for the live performance community in South Africa and all over the world, Artscape Theatre Centre CEO Dr Marlene le Roux said.
