Bank Windhoek supports Swan
Bank Windhoek, in collaboration with the National Ballet School, will stage 'Swan: The Life and Dance of Anna Pavlova' at the National Theatre of Namibia.
The classical ballet production, performed by 190 students between the ages of six and 19 years, will take audiences through the life of the Russian prima ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who captivated audiences in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Zelrine Verdoes, owner of the National Ballet School, directed and choreographed the production. “The event will give our young students an opportunity to dance on the big stage,” she said.
Solos will be performed by senior students who were recently awarded with special achievement awards by the presiding examiner of the 2017 Cecchetti examination session in Namibia. The production will also feature works from famous choreographers such as Marius Petipa, known for The Sleeping Beauty, and Michail Fokine who choreographed La Bayadere.
The National Ballet School stages a production every two to three years at the NTN and gives its students the opportunity to showcase their ballet skills to an appreciative audience. Bank Windhoek's support assists the school with costumes for the performance and also covers the booking fees for the venue.
Tickets are N$130 per person and the event will take place from 19 until 22 September. Tickets are available at the National Ballet School studio situated at the St George's Church Hall in Conradie Street from 13:00 to 18:00.
