The production of the world famous ‘Swan Lake’ from the Royal Moscow Ballet at Derry’s Millennium Forum has been cancelled.
The show, scheduled to go ahead on Wednesday night, March 2, was called off for reasons related to the safety and consideration of customers, promoters said.
A spokesperson for the Millennium Forum said: “The Millennium Forum has taken the difficult decision to cancel the production of “Swan Lake” by the Royal Moscow Ballet company on Wednesday March 2, 2022.
“Although the company is made up of many different nationalities with many from Ukraine, the safety and consideration of our customers is our main priority.
“Both the Board and Staff at the Millennium Forum regret the impact this decision will have on the dancers/crew and promoter of Royal Moscow Ballet who have all been great friends of the Forum for many years now.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine at this terrible time.
“We would appreciate your patience as we contact all patrons to arrange for refunds as soon as possible.”
The Helix Theatre in Dublin also cancelled the Royal Moscow Ballet’s production of “Swan Lake” last Friday.
