Berks Ballet Theatre will bring one of classical ballet’s most iconic productions to the stage next month, continuing its milestone 50th anniversary season with a performance of Swan Lake in Reading.

The performance is scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at 2 p.m. at the Miller Center for the Arts and will feature Act II and Act III of the renowned ballet—marking the first time the company has presented those sections locally.

Nathan Bland, artistic director of Berks Ballet Theatre, said the production highlights some of the most recognizable and emotionally driven moments of the ballet.

“You will see the white act of Swan Lake, which is all of the swans dancing with Odette and Prince Siegfried, and that will transition into Act 3, which is when we see the black swan, Odile,” Bland said.
