In the psychological thriller Black Swan, Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman plays a ballerina struggling to play Odette, the innocent white swan, and Odile, the sensual black swan, in a production of Swan Lake. Carolina Ballet tops the film with the company premieres of the “White Swan” and “Black Swan” pas de deux both in their entirety using Petipa’s original choreography and featuring four rotating casts of dancers. The program also includes works from the company’s vast repertory of more than 100 ballets.
