Hot Date: Swoon for Swan Lake

MARCH 11 TO 21
Ask any budding ballerina to make a list of her dream roles and Princess Odette from Swan Lake is bound to be on it. And for good reason—the haunting strains of Tchaikovsky’s score and the sensual grace required of the dancers never fail to cast a spell on audiences. The National Ballet of Canada presents the 19th-century masterpiece with choreography by James Kudelka, whose renowned interpretation highlights the tragic implications of this tale of doomed love between a prince and a princess who has been transformed into a swan. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, $20 to $210; call 416-345-9595 or navigate here for times and tickets.
