Some performances don’t need to be hyped to pull the crowd. They just take place and give people goosebumps. Swan Lake at Global Village Dubai is exactly that kind of show. Running from December 23 to 26, this classical ballet takes over the Main Stage with 26 world-class performers. Experience two shows a night, and a story that still hits hard, based on the theme of love, betrayal and Fate. And a very dramatic transformation involving swans.

A Classic Ballet, Global Village Style
Global Village already feels festive in December, and Swan Lake elevates the atmosphere with shiny costumes, sharp choreography and music that flows across the open-air venue, as mentioned on Global Village’s website.
