In Mexico City, we do care about ballet, and a lot! Proof of this is the speed with which tickets for the illuminated performance of Swan Lake are selling . It is a presentation that combines ballet and live music with dreamlike lighting.
Recently, Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet stated that “nobody cares” about opera or ballet.
Candlelight Ballet: Swan Lake is an opportunity that could change the minds of skeptics of these disciplines. There are many reasons for this, but in short, it is a performance that will touch all your senses with a reinterpretation of the work created by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The staging features live music by the Arcano String Quartet, who accompany the dance performance. Little Swans, The Sugar Plum Fairy, Waltz of the Flowers, and Spanish Dance are some of the pieces that make up the repertoire.

This moment will be framed by a magical production: the stage will be lit by hundreds of candles! This will envelop the artists and the audience in an intimate atmosphere full of magic.
At the moment, there are only two performances scheduled for Candlelight Ballet: Swan Lake, which will take place on Thursday, April 30, at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. at El Cantoral.
