Congratulations to the United Ukrainian Ballet on its majestic performance of Swan Lake at Marina Bay Sands. My daughter and I attended the Saturday matinee, and I could hardly believe that the dancers were all to be dancing again in less than three hours. In a wonderful change from contemporary pared-down productions, the costume and set designs were sumptuous, magnificent and awesome. The ballet was mesmerising, especially the performances by the principal leads who played Odette/Odile, Rothbart, Prince Siegfried and the Jester. The adaptations of Swan Lake I have seen over the years always chose to end in tragedy. I thought the “light over darkness” conclusion chosen by the United Ukrainian Ballet was an inspired choice. I wish the people of Ukraine well.
