The Swan of the Lake is an interactive musical: each night, at key moments in the dramatic action, the audience votes to guide the main character’s choices. The story unfolds primarily at the Paris Opera — a place haunted by memories and myths — and follows a young boy who wakes up one morning in the body of a young girl beginning her training at the ballet school. So begins a multiple-choice adventure to uncover the reasons behind this mystery. Written by Lancelot Hamelin and composed by Thomas Nguyen, this musical draws on great works from the classical repertoire and our collective imagination: Swan Lake, Billy Elliot, and The Phantom of the Opera.
