Swan Lake stands as a timeless jewel of classical ballet, accompanied by the iconic score of renowned Russian composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. A tale that captivates both young and old, it remains the most performed and recognized ballet globally. Beyond its reputation, Swan Lake demands exceptional precision and the pinnacle of classical technique from its performers, ensuring audiences an unparalleled theatrical experience.
Be whisked away by the elegance of the swans, the valor of Prince Siegfried, the jests of his court jester, and a queen’s quest to see her son wed. The performance’s crown jewel is the dual portrayal of Odette and Odile, two contrasting characters brought to life by a single dancer.
As the narrative unfolds, questions arise: Will Prince Siegfried be deceived by the wicked sorcerer Von Rothbart, who cursed the princess to live as a swan? And in Monika Kysilová’s rendition, will the tale find a jubilant resolution or tread a path of tragedy?
Doors open 30 minutes before the performance. Please arrive early to enjoy our pre-show ambiance and seating assistance.

Located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, the Broadway Theatre, once a celebrated cinema, now stands as a modern hub for ballet in Prague. Designed in the 1930s by architects Bohumir Kozak and Antonin Cerný, this venue has witnessed history, from hosting Metro Goldwyn Mayer to undergoing various name changes reflecting Prague’s evolving socio-political landscape. Renowned Czech art historian, Jiří Hilmera, celebrated its unique architecture that encapsulated the golden era of Prague’s performing arts. Today, the Broadway Theatre remains an emblem of Prague’s enduring passion for ballet.
