“This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” — The Seattle Times

The world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company takes Hayes Hall stage to perform classic ballet like only the Trocks can. Opening with Swan Lake: Act II, the Trocks head straight for the challenge—and bring it—with great technique and great comedy! Then, they tell the story of the gypsy girl, Esmeralda saved by Quasimodo from Pugni’s La Esmeralda. All eyes will then turn to the solo performance of Saint-Saëns’ Dying Swan, followed by Paquita, about another gypsy girl—this one unaware she is really of noble birth and had been abducted by gypsies as an infant.

Arrive early to enjoy the Hayes Hall Galleries and light fare at the cafe. The doors to Hayes Hall open 90 minutes prior to this performance.
