The Varna International Ballet performed Swan Lake at the New Wimbledon Theatre as part of their UK tour. Founded in 1947, the company features young European dancers. The performance was a pleasant experience in the charming Edwardian theatre, known for its baroque features. Although ticket prices were reasonable, the production faced challenges in staging and costumes, limited by a touring setup. Notably, Mara Salvaggio's portrayal of Odile stood out, despite the mixed execution of video projections used to convey the story.
"The gorgeous black and gold tutu of Odile was an exception, and Mara Salvaggio's captivating performance as the black swan was the highlight of the show."
"The sets and staging were generally simple and serviceable, and the costumes could be refined, though the production had limitations as a touring company."
