Swan Lake National Tour | CPT
Share this article
For the first time in nearly 30 years, South Africa’s two premier classical ballet companies—Joburg Ballet and Cape Town City Ballet—will unite to stage one of the world’s most beloved ballets, Swan Lake, on a grand national tour this July and August.
This historic collaboration will see dancers from both companies sharing the stage in Johannesburg, Durban, Bloemfontein, and Cape Town, bringing audiences a production of Swan Lake on a majestic scale rarely experienced in South Africa.
The production is on stage at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 1, 2 and 3 August together with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.
This revival of Swan Lake is based on the production originally staged in Cape Town in 1971 by acclaimed French dancer Attilio Labis. For the national tour, esteemed South African choreographer Veronica Paeper will restage the ballet, bringing new life to this timeless tale of love and betrayal, which has captivated audiences since its premiere in Moscow in 1877.
Tickets for all shows are available online through Webtickets.

On Auction: A Riverfront Country Estate Where Art, Architecture & Nature Live in Harmony
Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.
Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
