MALVERN audiences have the chance to see not one but four top ballet shows in the space of five days.
On offer at Malvern Theatres will be Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake,The Snow Maiden and The Nutcracker, all performed by the Russian State Ballet of Siberia and accompanied by a live orchestra.
The company will perform in Malvern from February 9 to February 13, at the Festival Theatre.
The programme is as follows.
Sleeping Beauty - Tuesday February 9 at 7:30pm.
A spokesman said: "Every child’s favourite fairy tale, this is the classic story of love and innocence, mystery and magic set to Tchaikovsky’s sublime score.
"Stunning choreography, sumptuous costumes and wonderful sets form the fantasy world in which the Lilac Fairy struggles against the evil Carabosse."
Swan Lake - Wednesday February 10 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
A spokesman said: "The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and unforgettable score.
"From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all."
The Snow Maiden - Thursday February 11 at 7.30pm and Friday February 12 at 7.30pm.
A spokesman said: "Protected from the outside world by Father Frost, the exquisite Snow Maiden plays innocently amongst the dancing snowflakes in the enchanted Land of Frost. Based on a traditional folk-tale, set in the snow covered landscape of rural Russia, this seasonal sparkler follows the Snow Maiden as she dances into the human world."
The Nutcracker - Saturday, February 13 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
A spokesman said: "This most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve.
"As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems."
