Believe it or not, GVL — Ballet’s classic love story, “Swan Lake,” is finally making its debut in Greenville. Taking the Peace Center stage from Saturday, May 25, to Sunday, May 26, Greenville’s own International Ballet presents this immersive tale of love, betrayal, and drama across four visually stunning acts.

Set against Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, performed by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, “Swan Lake” is one of the most famous ballets in the world, and upstate audiences won’t want to miss this awe-inspiring production.
