Review: New talents catch the eye at HK Ballet's 'Swan Lake'

The Hong Kong Ballet has brought back John Meehan's 2007 production of Swan Lake for an extended run of 10 shows over two weekends.

Only possible in this city with hugely popular ballets, this is a vital opportunity to give more dancers experience in major classical roles.

This was illustrated by Ye Feifei as Odette/Odile and Wei Wei as Prince Siegfried, both of whom are dancing these roles for the first time. Ye has appeared as the virtuoso Odile, a natural casting for a dancer of her tremendous technical strength.
