nice troupe, female lead was terrific, a little recitalish at times and i'd prefer a live orchestra (but understand that would be a challenge for this type of event).
Ate at the Tappas lounge - food was good, very convenient, friendly service

One of the most exciting performances I've seen in years. Beautiful sets and costumes. The orchestration was phenomenal, my wife and I had a great time. The show was a little under 3 hours with 2 intermissions. Definitely wish they'll come again when our kids grow up. Not to be missed by younger generations.

Thank you for this outstanding performance. Dancers and choreography, set design and costume design had been first class. The music was beautiful. I hope Vancouver will have more events like this.
I had seen the advertising two days prior to the event. I told many of my friends and most been disappointed not to have known.
Please send me monthly Vancouver calendars a head of time I will pass such event information to my friends. Word of mouth is always the most effective and economical advertising.

Comments: I looked at European Theaters which give 50% discounts to children & youth up to the age of 16 and people with disabilities or seniors with low income. Cultural education is very important in Canada.

The Mikhailovsky production of Swan Lake was the finest production of this ballet that I have seen. Great sets, costumes and wonderful dancing, especially from the prima ballerina. The orchestra played Tchaikovsky's music beautifully. A memorable evening.

I saw the Bolshoi Ballet perform Swan Lake in Los Angeles in the mid 1980's.
The Mikhailovsky Ballet is the absolute equal to the Bolshoi. The performance was amazing. Great music masterfully performed by the orchestra and the dancers were perfect. The costumes Perfect and the Choreography was perfect. It is difficult to imagine how it could be better. I absolutely loved it and I will be staying attentive to the Mikhailovsky Ballet schedule because I want to see them again, no matter what they are performing. This is a company of true artists. I thank the producers / promoters for bringing this company to Vancouver.

Amazing! I wish all my friends could have come. Felt as if I'd been playing in our neighborhood park and was suddenly in DisneyLand. Beautiful - even for a matinee. If they came back (Wow! what a thought!) I'd organize my entire address book to come. If they appear somewhere else in N. America I'd count it worth traveling just to see them again. I only wish there had been better advertising.

Mikhailovsky ballet was wonderful, Russian orchestra just a delight. The only thing I would have liked to know before purchasing tickets: the second cast danced in the principal roles in the Saturday matinee, I would have preferred the first cast......as the prince was a very young (21) dancer who really did not emote the acting required in the drama.......
Next time I choose an evening event, hoping to see the first cast in principal roles!

Perhaps the best of all the ballets I've ever seen -- and I've seen a lot! The ultimate classical ballet. A Russian score played by a live Russian orchestra. Russian choreography performed by top Russian dancers. Swan Lake as it was meant to be. I pity anyone who loves ballet and missed it.

I do not know a lot about ballet but I was on the plane from Frankfurt with the whole crew and decided to go. I was entranced and more than onc was carried away by the music - especially the trumpeteer. They deserved a much larger audience but they did get a much-deserved standing ovation. I think I started at the top and if I go to other ballets, they will have to measure up to the superb dancing, fsbulous costumes and stunning sets. Thanks for a wonderful performance.

It was a magnificent performance by the Mikhailovsky Ballet; a classical masterpiece by an outstanding Russian ballet group. The choreography was also superb, not a detail was missed. I hope they will be invited to perform in Vancouver many times over. Personally, it was a treat for the eyes and a gift for the spirit.

Even though the ballet was good there was a serious lack of people for the last night's show. We suspected that the high price for tickets turned off a lot of people. We also realized that a large orchestra has to be paid .
The new seating is the worst thing to ever happen to the Queen E . The seats are terrible beyond words and whoever selected them should be fired !Because these new seats are so bad we will have to seriously decide if we wish to sit through a performance in seats that seem to be to low to the floor.

That was hands down the most beautiful ballet I have ever seen, the dancers were faultless, and their feet were like feathers. Too bad the audience was so small, Vancouver, you missed an absolutely amazing performance. The costumes were vintage 1956, the scenery was lush and the choreography was so unique.

Amazing - 5 Stars. It's really too bad the the house wasn't packed. I think this was because of poor advertising. I only found out through friends who, like me, have an inetrest in balletPerhaps if there was wider advertising on radio, t.v. and newspaper (we subscribe) there would have been better attendance. We all agreed that the performance was excellent. Truly very good dancing and acting. I would recommend this as a highlight of culture.

Swan Lake is a timeless ballet to see and the Mikhailovsky Ballet Co. was impressive. With 32 'swans' in the cast it was an impressive site on stage. Truly a magical evening.

This performance was done a company not know to me, and after reading about their theatre online, bought tickets. It was wonderful, worth every penny. The stage, the music, the dancers were unforgettable. I am sorry it was not better attended, ballet fans in the Vancouver area really missed out. The lead ballerina was superb, she made you live the moment. I would attend again-----
