Grand Kyiv Ballet was scheduled to perform Swan Lake: Symphony of Lights at The Covey on September 25, 2026. The production aims to pair classical ballet tradition with cutting-edge lighting technology and illuminated costumes.
The performance features costumes created in Ukraine that incorporate American electronics to produce onstage illumination. According to Yaroslav Volkov, a representative for Artistic Space Production and Grand Kyiv Ballet, the technology is integrated into the performance through lighting cues coordinated with the dancers. Volkov stated that while the production uses new technology and a reimagined vision of the lake, the choreography, technique, and soul of the piece remain unchanged.
The production features an internationally trained cast, including Mykola Khoma and Chihiro Tamai. Khoma trained at the Serge Lifar Kyiv Municipal Academy of Dance and the Theater of San Carlo Ballet School in Naples. Tamai is a graduate of the European School of Ballet and Canada's National Ballet School.
The performance at The Covey Main Stage was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September 25, 2026. Ticket prices for the event ranged from $28 to $58.
