Upcoming performances of Swan Lake by a Russian ballet company have been cancelled in Dublin.
The Bord Gais Energy Theatre said it had decided to suspend the performances by the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“The Bord Gais Energy Theatre stands firmly behind the people and nation of Ukraine and has today taken the decision to cancel the upcoming performances of Swan Lake by St Petersburg Ballet Theatre which were scheduled to take place from 29 March to 3 April 2022,” it said.
