This performance is a family-friendly production that combines Tchaikovsky's iconic ballet music with live narration by a KBS voice actor, making it easy and comfortable for audiences of all ages, from children to adults, to enjoy.

'Swan Lake' is a classic ballet that tells the story of Princess Odette, who is transformed into a swan by a curse, and Prince Siegfried, who seeks to save her. It is considered one of Tchaikovsky's three great ballets, alongside 'The Sleeping Beauty' and 'The Nutcracker'.

The performance unfolds as a story, beginning with the prologue 'The Prince's Coming-of-Age Ceremony', followed by Act 1 'The Lakeside Scene', Act 2 'The Palace Ballroom', and Act 3 'Eternal Love'. The stage costumes, such as beak-shaped helmets and feathered outfits that embody swans, as well as vivid narration for each character, are expected to enhance the audience's immersion. Even those unfamiliar with ballet will be able to understand and enjoy the production with ease.

The performance is open to audiences aged 7 and older. Ticket reservations for paid members begin on August 7 at 2:00 p.m., while general reservations open on August 8 at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are priced at 20,000 won for the first floor and 10,000 won for the second floor.

Song Seungwon, Director of the Yeoncheon County Facilities Management Corporation, stated, "'Swan Lake' lowers the barriers to classical ballet through its narrated production. I hope that this performance will allow more people to experience the beauty and emotion of ballet up close."
