KTVU's Betty Yu shows us how the San Francisco Ballet is preparing for its first international tour since the pandemic, as the city honors barrier-breaking ballerina Nikisha Fogo.

Swan Lake is one of the most beloved classical ballet works and has been for over a century. In Act II, Prince Seigfried falls in love with the beautiful Queen Odette on the shores of a moonlit lake.

Usually set on a moonlit lake, the rendition took place at a more familiar setting — Beebe Lake. The Swan Queens and their maidens are cursed by a spell that transforms them into swans by day.

Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, “Swan Lake” was performed for the first time nearly 150 years ago by the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow. It has graced the world’s stages ever since.

"Swan Lake Act II & Boléro: Central New York Ballet’s Debut" will be performed at the Oncenter's Carrier Theater on Saturday, April 6 and 7. Tickets are now on sale at ticketmaster.com.
