The Russians never disappoint. Their ballet performance is so professional, skilful, athletic,convincing and artistic.We will attend every time they return to New Zealand.

I have long looked forward to attending the Russian Ballet and watching a performance of Swan Lake was a real treat for me personally as it is a ballet I aspired to s a child growing up in Africa. Having this opportunity was as much a thrill as the performance and I was pinching myself hardly believing the wonderful opportunity that I had been presented.
The ballet itself was lovely and flowing and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the swans doing their dancing at the Lake in the mist. Most enjoyable evening! Thank you!

Very professional performance. Costumes portrayed characters rolls very well. The music was not too loud . relaxing because you didn't have to concentrate on speech or songs .

Being our 1st time at the Ballet it was great. An unforgettable performance.
Only problem I had was not with the Ballet but with the venue.

Have never been to a ballet of this calibre before and just thoroughly enjoyed it, very mesmerising. Beautiful costumes. Money very well spent as it was a full show.

Swan Lake presented by the Russian Imperial Ballet Company was really amazing and thoroughly entertaining and I believe the Bruce Mason Centre to be an excellent venue.
The costumes were beautiful and the dancing incredible. I booked our seats through Ticketmaster and was more than pleased with the outcome.

Having seen the team perform last year in the variety ballet including the 'dying swan' episode I was prepared to see another outstanding performance. The settings and the costumes were splendid. While I am not a ballet expert I found the performance rather unexceptional from the beginning.
There were one or two 'wobbly' moments from members of the cast.
The female lead was exceptionally good and breathtaking in some of her movements.
The moment of the 'dying swan' was disappointing compared with the performance in Auckland last year. She just sank to the floor in the flick of an eye. There was no indication of actually dying.
The male lead seemed to me to be limited in his athletic ability and also stamina. His performance was just less than I expected it would be.
Overall it was pleasant but for the price and the build-up I would have expected more than was delivered. Perhaps they were tired.
There was too much repetition of the same moves - very predictable.
The two jesters were excellent and provided some variation.

I enjoyed my fist ballet. I must say though that the seat were not that comfortable. However, we could see the ballet in all it's glory from Row P seat 19 & 20. I would definitely book another performance by this company they were GOOD!!! I have to say a live orchestra would have added to the occasion.

Took my Mum for her birthday and her friend too and they and myself thoroughly enjoyed it. From start to finish my Mum couldnt stop saying the world BEAUTIFUL as it truly was. Costumes, storyline, performers, a definite 10/10. They should have had more concerts as we had a couple in front of us who drove to Rotorua to see the show and they live in Auckland.

Swan Lake by the Russian Imperial Ballet was captivating. I had never seen a live ballet before, but would highly recommend it to anyone. It helped to know the story (and read the synopsis in the programme) so you could follow what was happening. The dancing was superb, as were the costumes. A great night!
