THE prestigious Russian State Ballet is bringing a new production of the classical ballet “Swan Lake” to Shanghai’s dance lovers.

Renowned ballet dancers Dmitry Kotermi, Luliia Zviagina and Anna Shcherbakova will feature in the classic fairy tale and offer a new interpretation of the story about Princess Odette, who is transformed into a swan by a sorcerer.
