January 9 Swan Lake ballet in Águilas
The Ballet of Kiev at the Auditorio Margarita Lozano in Lorca
in 2022, shortly after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the Kiev Ballet embarked on its first tour of Spain, and following the huge success of that visit they are still touring in early 2026 to raise more funds for the emergency work being carried out by UNICEF in their home country.
On this occasion the ballet chosen is Swan Lake, with score by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa. It was this version which rescued the music from relative obscurity in Saint Petersburg 1895, after the initial performances in 1877 were a flop among the theatregoers of Moscow.
The main protagonists of the ballet are the characters of Prince Siegfried, Odette, who has been transformed into a swan by the spell of the evil Von Rothbart, and Odile, the black swan.
The performance at the Auditorio Infanta Doña Elena in Águilas on 9th January begins at 20.30 with tickets on sale at 34 euros and available online here or in person at the Museo Arqueológico and the Casa de la Cultura. If there are still tickets left they will be on sale at the box office on the evening of the show.
The ticket price includes a donation of 1 euro to UNICEF.
