English National Ballet at Versailles, July 2007Dancers from English National Ballet perform Swan Lake against the magnificent backdrop of the Palace of Versailles, outside Paris. The stage floats in the romantic Bassin de Neptune a fitting location for Tchaikovskys passionate masterpiece and the audience, just out of shot, watch the performance from an open air amphitheatre. As the sun sets, the palace walls glow orange, and the green from the planting and the water appears iridescent.
