The Royal Ballet will perform Liam Scarlett\u2019s new production of \u201cSwan Lake\u201d, incorporating new set and costume designs by John Macfarlane, at the Teatro Real in Madrid from July 18 to July 22.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The brand new production of \u201cSwan Lake\u201d created by Liam Scarlett for the Royal Ballet is about to tour to Madrid \u2013 the company\u2019s new version of the world famous classic will be represented outside of England for the first time a couple of months after its premiere.<\/p>\n

From July 18 to July 22 the Royal Ballet will return to the Teatro Real in Madrid to join the 20th<\/sup> anniversary celebrations of the Spanish theatre\u2019s reopening. The Spanish audience, so, will be the first able to watch this new \u201cSwan Lake\u201d after the British one.<\/p>\n

More than three decades after the opening night of Anthony Dowell\u2019s production, whose sets and costumes designed by Yolanda Sonnabend got sharp criticism, Scarlett\u2019s \u201cSwan Lake\u201d replaces Dowell\u2019s version, with lavish sets and costumes designed by Scottish artist John Macfarlane. The swans, here, wear tutus again \u2013 they all began life as watercolours painted by the designer. His sketches of the costumes can be seen below.<\/p>\n

Artistic director of the Teatro Real Joan Matabosch said to \u201cDance for You\u201d, \u00abThe Teatro Real is delighted to welcome the Royal Ballet in Madrid because of its stature as a company. They are one of the best, if not the best, dance companies in the world. The Company was the first major international dance company to perform on the stage of the Teatro Real after its reopening as an opera house twenty years ago, and it is an honour for us to have them here closing the commemorative season of the Teatro Real’s Bicentenary. Furthermore, it will be a privilege for the Teatro Real to present the Company’s recent production of “Swan Lake” in Madrid, which will undoubtedly be one of the Royal Ballet’s hallmarks for the upcoming decades\u00bb.<\/p>\n

During the Madrid run, the role of Odette\/Odile will be danced by Royal Ballet Principals Marianela Nu\u00f1ez (on July 18 and 22), Natalia Osipova (on July 19), Sarah Lamb (on July 20), Akane Takada (July 21 matinee) and Yasmine Naghdi (July 21 evening). Their princes will be Principals Vadim Muntagirov (opposite Nu\u00f1ez), Ryoichi Hirano (opposite Lamb), Federico Bonelli (opposite Naghdi), First Soloist Matthew Ball (opposite Osipova) and Soloist William Bracewell (opposite Takada).<\/p>\n

Kevin O\u2019Hare, Director of The Royal Ballet, commented, \u00abEveryone in the Company is very much looking forward to performing in Madrid, and I’m thrilled to be able to share this production with Spanish audiences after it receives its premiere in London in May\u00bb.<\/p>\n
