Singapore Dance Theatre presents Swan Lake 2015

Singapore Dance Theatre presents Swan Lake 2015 

3 – 6 December 2015
Esplanade Theatre 

For 6 years and above

With an ever-compelling story and technically demanding choreography, this is the ballet not to be missed! An ideal performance for seasoned audiences and novice attendees, Swan Lake offers a clear plot to follow and a spectacle unlike any other. With exquisite costumes and enchanting moments, this classic piece remains to be the favourite ballet of many children and adults.

A timeless masterpiece by the legendary choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, Swan Lake is well established in SDT’s repertoire. The company premiere was in December 2007, and has since been restaged in 2009 and 2012. 

Synopsis

The story begins with Prince Siegfried, who goes hunting. While hunting, Prince Siegfried sees an amazing swan. As he takes aim to shoot, the swan turns into a beautiful woman. The woman, Odette, tells the prince that she is a princess who has come under the spell of an evil sorcerer called Rothbart. During the day, she must be a swan. At night, she is allowed to be a human again. The spell can only be broken if a nobel prince swears eternal fidelity to her. She tells Prince Siegfried that if he refuses her, she must remain a swan forever. Prince Siegfried falls madly in love with Odette. The Royal Family hosts a party at the palace to celebrate the Prince’s 21st birthday. Prince Siegfried, under a spell casted by Rothbart, accidentally proposes to Odile, Rothbart’s daughter, believing that she is really Odette. Princess Odette, who appears at the party, witnesses Siegfried declaring his love for Odile and feels doomed. The prince returns to Odette at the lakeside and she forgives him. The prince defeats Rothbart in a battle which finally releases Odette and all the swan maidens from the spell to become women once again.

An Eco Carnival at City Square Mall, 3rd Nov 2012

City Square Mall - the first eco-mall in Singapore will be ushering in an eco-Christmas, with an eco-Carnival on 3 November (12pm – 7pm), showcasing 12 unique Christmas trees made out of recycled plastic bottles, created by students enrolled in the Diploma in Landscape Architecture course at Singapore Polytechnic. The public can vote for three of their favourite designs, and the best design will be selected by a panel of judges, which will then be built into a spectacular 5-metre tall tree made out of used plastic bottles collected from Millenium & Copthorne International Limited, and will be on display from mid-November till 30 December.   

The carnival on 3 November, will be held at the Fountain Square on Basement 1, with specially-constructed carnival game booths where recycled materials will be used as game props, such as:

Ring the Bottle: Using recycled glass bottles, players will toss a ring and try to hoop it onto a glass bottle.

Table Bowling: Replacing the pins with recycled plastic bottles, players will roll a ball onto the lane and try to hit all the pins down.

Save the Egg: Using recycled billiard poles, players will get to move a plastic egg along two poles to get them from one end to another, without dropping them.

Craft Making Eco-Workshops: Students of Singapore Polytechnic will guide the public and children in making interesting handicrafts using recycled materials. 

With an aim to showcase creative eco-conscientious efforts among the youth, there will also be an exhibition showcasing landscape projects to create greater awareness about environmental consciousness, by students from Singapore Polytechnic. Children can also look forward to receiving eco-colouring bags which they can decorate and take home!
