People checking into a Singapore hotel this month may be able to catch a live performance of the famous and magical classical ballet Swan Lake.

From December 17th to 20th, the Singapore Dance Theatre group will be putting on a series of nightly shows recounting the love story of Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried.

Struck by the spell of the evil sorcerer Rothbart, Odette is transformed into a swan at daybreak and can only venture out in human form after dark.

The only way to break the curse is for Odette to find true love with Prince Siegfried, but with Rothbart determined to triumph over the pair, will Odette be condemned to eternal swanhood?

Featuring stunning costumes and choreography and a lavish set, the production is sure to prove a hit with audiences as the company's 36 dancers strut their stuff on stage.

First penned in 1876 by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the show has become one of the most famous pieces in classical ballet and is performed by companies the world over.
