VTV.vn - The Russian Ballet and Light troupe will stage a special performance of Swan Lake with 3D animated graphics in Hanoi on August 1st.

Theatre representatives announced the news at a press conference in Hanoi yesterday. The ballet will feature principal dancers Elisaveta Nebesnaya and Sergey  Smirnov with more than 100 other performers. The ballet received critical acclaim after its Moscow debut in June 2014 in Moscow. According Talarium et Lux Theatre vice director Sergey Baturin, the theatre believes the 3D computer generated graphics add more excitement to the well-known story. 

Based on a Russian folk tale, Swan Lake tells the story of Odette, a princess who was turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer. Composed in 1875, it is considered one of the most loved, but technically and emotionally challenging ballets of all time.
