About
World Ballet Company: Swan Lake
Nothing else in the metro this weekend is a full-length classical ballet, and Swan Lake is the canonical one. World Ballet Company tours the piece with an international cast and staged sets rather than a concert-format reduction. The Genesee is a restored 1927 vaudeville house in downtown Waukegan, which suits the scale of the thing.
What to expect
A full-length staged Swan Lake with sets and costumes, performed by a touring company in a restored 1920s theatre.
Good to know
