Kay said: "The team behind the scenes has done an incredible job with the costumes, lighting and set. As well as the 40 swan and cygnet costumes, there are new designs for the big waltz in Act 1, all lovingly created and which will be a feast for the eye on the stage.
"Someone asked me how much material, cotton and sequins we'd used. We're unable to give a definitive answer, but all we know is it's a lot. The dancers have also used hundreds of plasters on their toes as well!"
The shows will feature husband and wife principal dancers, Phillip Velinov and Natalia Ashikhmina from the Louisville Ballet in Kentucky, USA. It will be the second trip to Cornwall for the duo after they performed to great acclaim in Duchy Ballet's Giselle in 2012. For more information visit www.duchyballet.co.uk
