It will be filmed live at the Mariinksy Theatre in St Petersburg, Russia, by the Oscar-winning team behind big screen blockbusters such as Avatar and Life of Pi.
Swan Lake tells a love story between Odette, a princess under a curse that turns her into a swan by day, and Prince Siegfried.
They meet as Prince Siegfried is out hunting at night and Odette transforms from a swan into a beautiful woman before his eyes.
Some of the finest dancers in the world will bring Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's choreography to life.
Valery Gergiev, director of the Mariinsky Theatre, said: "Mariinsky Live 3D format is something totally new not only for us but also for the whole world. James Cameron is Mr 3D so we all know that if you team up with him something magical should happen".
