The Grace of Swan Lake

Last week, mom and I attended the Gala premiere of Swan Lake at the Genting International Showroom, thanks to the awesome people at Milestone Entertainment.

It was certainly a memorable night, catching up with great friends who also attended the media night. 

There, I made some new friends too.

A special pre-show cocktail was specially prepared for the invited guests. The food was amazing and looks super presentable.
There was also Royalty in the house, DYMM  Sultanah  Pahang  Sultanah  Hajjah  Kalsom.

The show Swan Lake adventure is a 150 minutes show including intermission. Here is a glance through on the ACTS. A beautiful tragic love story told through the music of Tchaikovsky and graceful ballet dancers.

Here I would love to share some amazing and captivating scenes and shots at the mezmerizing Swan Lake show. As we were not allowed to take photographs and videos, here I am sharing shots taken by their official photographer.

The scene opens up with a Disney-like castle on a hilltop far far away. And dancers in colourful attire greets the crowd.


Next, the beautiful backdrop with a full glowing moon setting is my favorite scene! The backdrop is not a stand still and it has movement of realistic looking clouds. Of course when the bad guy comes out the moon was then covered. The scene changes with the music and with a well told story and plot.


Graceful dancers men and women conquered the stage with full confidence and danced the night away, telling the tale of Swan Lake.

The White Swan (Odette) played by Natasha Watson, dancing so full of grace.
Kudos to the team of dancers who performed with such beauty and grace to entertain us.
The overall dancing, choreography and timing was spectacular in every way. A classical ballet at its best with a story well told. Such a beautiful timeless masterpiece!
Thank you once again for the wonderful show!
There was an up close and personal moment when the show ended. As we walked out, we manage to catch a glimpse of these darlings who tirelessly put on a good show. Well, it's not easy dancing and standing on your toes all night, you know.
