Elegance, passion, and artistry where world-class ballet meets timeless beauty

After its outstanding success in 2024 with a tour that sold out completely, Swan Lake will once again enchant audiences on October 18, 2025, at JIEXPO Theatre in Kemayoran, Jakarta. This performance is part of the Southeast Asia Encore Tour, presented by Crescendo Asia and performed by the Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre. Featuring two former principal dancers of the Mariinsky Ballet, the production will bring the grandeur of Russian classical ballet back to the Indonesian stage.

Set to the iconic music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake has long been a symbol of beauty, love, and timeless mystery. The romantic yet tragic tale of the Swan Princess continues to move audiences across generations, earning its place as one of the most celebrated masterpieces in the history of ballet.

Jakarta audiences will have a rare opportunity this year to see Oksana Bondareva, a principal dancer of the Mariinsky Theatre and an international star who has also performed with Moscow Ballet “La Classique.” She will take on the legendary dual roles of Odette and Odile, showcasing the grace and emotional depth that define her artistry. Bondareva will be joined by Ivan Sitnikov-Koginov, a former Mariinsky soloist, along with 38 professional dancers from the Saint Petersburg National Ballet Theatre.

The production will feature refined choreography, lavish costumes, and striking stage design. Together, these elements will create a powerful artistic experience where music, movement, and emotion blend seamlessly to leave a lasting impression.

The success of the 2024 tour across Southeast Asian cities highlights Swan Lake’s enduring appeal. The warm reception from audiences, whether devoted ballet followers or general art lovers, shows how this timeless work transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. With its return to Jakarta in 2025, the performance is anticipated to be one of the city’s most significant cultural events of the year.

For lovers of the arts, this is more than a performance—it is a remarkable moment. The opportunity to witness world-class ballet on an Indonesian stage is a rare privilege. Audiences can look forward to an evening filled with beauty, emotion, and the spellbinding allure of classical ballet.
