To nejlepší z Labutího jezera

90 minutes of enjoyment

I enjoyed the pergormance it was very beutiful and proffesional

Great preformed. I recommend.

Prague’s Tampas ballets and concerts are good introductions to the greatest hit classical pieces in spectacular venues. If you have attended full length professional performances in the past, theses sampler concerts may be a bit of a let down. On the plus side, it is wonderful there are so many job opportunities for artists compared to almost anywhere else in the world.

Wir sind ohne Erwartungen hin und ich fand - die Leistung der Tänzer beeindruckend - das Ambiente ok (nicht spektakulär aber auch nicht schrabblig) - die Geschichte sehr unterhaltsam (auch für nicht Experten) - die Länge genau richtig - die Musik sehr schön Das war live, das waren viele Tänzer, Kostüme, Geschichte, Choreographie … der Ticketpreis ok. Auch für Prag.

Principal dancers looked the part but the corps de ballet seemed to be just going through the motions. A pleasant afternoon but nothing to write home about.

We were really looking forward to being in Prague and experiencing a ballet in such an historic, cultural city. Maybe we were expecting a little too much, but some of the dancers were having to watch the others to figure out what to do next. It appeared they didn't know the routine very well and were not in sync. We were also disappointed that there was not a live orchestra. And when it came time for the curtain call, the director was on his way to center stage to take a bow when the curtains suddenly closed before he had the chance. All in all, it was more what I would expect from a high school performance than a professional one.

We were looking forward to this show, but we were very disappointed - to say the least. The tickets were quite expensive and I expected better - to be honest. 1. The localities - they smelled like a party was just finished - it was like beeing back in the old town party local in our home villages. 2. The staff was alright - but we got served the wrong drinks. 3. Lots of drunk / high visitors that was talking / laughing during the show. 4. The show it self: We were aware that this was a highlight-show of the Swan Lake - but come on: you don't have to make it that obvious. 5. The scene: it was poor quality. The backdrop, the lighting, the sound... 6. The dancers: well... I don't want to be to harsh or anything - but this has nothing to do with what is presented in an actual opera house. Let's just leave it there. We left in the intermission - and several more did. We were very disappointed by this show - mostly because we paid this much. We got the impression that this was a professional setup - but it wasn't. This felt like amateur-ballet. Sorry to say. Don't waste your money.

The performance was very good!

Hello, The performance was not very professional, you could get a sense that the main characters were very distant from each other and some of the other characters had an amateur skill set. I took my 2 teenage daughters to see this and honestly expected something more professional. I don't think I was the only person in the room to think this. For the cost of the tickets, I don't feel it was worth the money.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The production was very good and I really enjoyed it. The dancers were super fit and gave it their best. Well done I will be back again.

Nous avons été très déçues par la qualité du spectacle et du décor. Le niveau n'est pas à la hauteur de celui des ballets que nous avons l'habitude de voir en France. De plus, la version condensée rend l'histoire difficilement compréhensible.

Beautiful performance. Efficient booking.

It was extremely captivating. The swan lake is a master piece, and It was danced so extremely well. I enjoyed my time at the theater extremely.

The staging was poor and the dancing was not very good.

Dancers do not have enough technique to dance from the répertoire. The lever is absolutely not international but rather academic.

Excellent performance on all aspects! We changed the date and actually we attended it on 24 December 2022. Thank you very much!

As a visitor in Prague, I was truly excited about this opportunity. I was disappointed. The prima ballerina was good but nothing spectacular stood out. The chorus ballerinas were mostly fine, but many were expressionless. The males in the production were poor, however, with the exception of the Clown, who was entertaining. The Prince was awkward, often falling out of turns. We left at intermission, as did many others.

The performance was amazing and the main ballerina was amazing. I enjoyed the music and the customs. The added a bet of comedian element to the show which made it more appealing.

For me and my daughter (13 years) it was the first ballet we have seen. So we are maybe not in position to rate the performance on ballet skills. But we enjoyed the show a lot and we had a great evening. It was really entertaining.

The ballerinas were not technically that good and the theater was way too hot. It was a tourist attraction not a real ballet. I really over paid for it.

Très beau spectacle, quelques imperfections et grosse liberté inappropriée quant à la fin de l'histoire... Entrée du théâtre vieillot et d'un autre âge. Une rénovation et une modernisation de l'accueil du public s'impose

The price was way too high for this event (comparing with National Theatre): - no orchestra - the decoration was a bit damaged (2 candles were not working, one tree was degradeting)

Sorry sorry sorry : last sunday-evening we invited our hosts from Prague to see these so called 'highlights' from the Swan Lake ballet. This has been by far our worse theater experience ever. Please do go to experience this by yourselves : you have no idea how anybody can destroy this beautiful dance event (very disappointing dance capacities and performance -with some exceptions-, horrible over-mimiquing of the story-line, broken decoration, poor costumes and worse) ... i have no further words to describe this performance as very very very disappointing. Yet we have had a lot of fun replaying our experience on the streets of Karlin on our way home afterwards. Paul van Beek cs from Amsterdam-Berlin and ... from last weekend at Hybernica as a guest in Prague the 6th february 2022

Imagine Doncaster Rovers football club playing on a muddy pitch in front of 200 supporters. This ballet was worse. Uncoordinated, dancers that walked over the stage, probably the worst experience I have endured in my 67 years. I have seen 8 year olds dance in more style. Not worth the money, sorry.

The ballet dancers were professional and I enjoyed the show.

A lovely show. Great sound, costumes and good quality dancing. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ballet was "amateur". Was expecting a lot more for the price. Slightly disappointed.

Lovely evening watching this. Very pleased we booked.

This was a great show to wrap up the evening (or just start)!

Lovely performance but had some placement/spacing issues as well as synchronization problems but overall great!

It was well done and the performers were very good. I just think the set could be better and maybe more elegant.

Dancers were largely lovely, but the venue stopped it being a good show

Not worth it very disappointing

Very nice show, really impressed.

I loved the ballet. I am very happy that I attended.

We loved the ballet itself. However, I missed a complete orchestra and not pre recorded music.

Very bad performance. Horrible. Please don’t go.

good solist dancers average for the rest of the dancers

The event idea is good but the only dancer really worth the price was the female soloist playing Odette. Everyone else was really under the average and way below the price of the ticket.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable show and it has inspired us to go and watch the full performance. The performers had great skill and retold the story beautifully. Highly recommended. This has been the highlight of my partner’s birthday weekend.

Family friendly show.

The venue felt like a run down movie theater, the theater seats and walls were dirty, the dancers were dancing out of sync, and the sets were also 'run-down'.

Amateur performance and not worth the money.

The ballet was unprofessional, in most of the parts the dancers were not dancing on points ( except of the leading dancer ) and also in some of the parts they walked on stage instead of dancing . The dancers were not synchronized , weren't aligned correctly and the dancers weren't uniformed in height in a noticeable way. It was disappointing to watch the performance with a recording and not with a live orchestra ( which is common in ballet ).

Not a real ballet, the “dancers” were just walking on the stage. One almost fell twice. Felt like a high school show. Would not recommend.

Amazing preformance, worth every cent

We where a bit disappointed. For this price I was expecting an orchestra. Theatre was very empthy. It was a nice show but not worth the price.

Excellent dancers. Music quality very good, considering it was not live. Good value production and perfect for a short city break.

We just loved the ballet, the performers were awesome, the whole experience was brilliant

Le corps de ballet est de niveau amateur, la chorégraphie peu dansante, l'engagement des danseurs faible également. Très décevant.

Beautiful play done by talented ballet dancers! While the music wasn't an orchestra, it made it feel like there was one in front of the stage and definitely felt real. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend and I would see it again.

What I received comparing to the price I paid was very good. The show was great and the venue was fine. I enjoyed my time very much.

I saw this show during my last visitor Prague 5 years ago. This visit my mother and daughter were with me and as neither had seen ballet previously I recommended we see this show as I’d enjoyed before. We booked our tickets online the day before and arranged to collect from the Musica store in Old Town Square ( locating this took a little effort). We arrived 15 mins before the show start time and were advised to select free seats from the Row sections we had booked for. This worked well and we had a good view of the stage. The show commenced promptly and had us all captivated throughout. The dancers worked tirelessly and there didn’t seem to be a step out of place. The thing to remember is this isn’t The Royal Ballet- if people want or expect that, they shoutout and pay Royal Ballet seating prices. Also remember this is The Best of Swan Lake not the complete Ballet, however the way this is put together works really well to give a good overview of the story. Well worth a visit, talented dancers and good value for money

Not the best quality

Mesmerising performance of Swan Lake - the dancers were all incredible and it was my favourite activity of my 3 (very active!) days in Prague. Would fully recommend.

Incroyable !

"Average" for the dancing part. "Weak" for the musical part (no live orchestra), for the scenario and for the dressing of the dancers.

Fantastic show. Don't miss it.

Niveau de danse médiocre mise en scène médiocre

The lead dancers performed GREAT. The other dancers were subpar.

Le ballet était très moyen, 2/3 danseurs dansaient bien, mais l'ensemble était très moyen, et les moments importants du ballet n'étaient pas mis en valeur. La fin proposée ne fait pas partie des fin proposées en général, qui sont des fins tristes. Avec une troupe moyenne, sur une bande son qui ne rend pas comme un orchestre, on ne propose pas des pris comme cela. La prestation valait la moitié moins

It would have been better to live music however the dancers were very good

Extremely overpriced

Very nice and cute performance of swan lake

Superb dance and production. Everyone was "en pointe". This is the second time we have seen this danced at the Hybernia. Last time, 3 years ago. Enjoyed the show emmensley and will highly recommend to others.
