Le Lac des cygnes was premiered in Moscow in 1877.
The story of a prince's love for a young maiden, transformed into a swan by a sorcerer, is a fantastical subject where the principal dancer must portray and dance a dual role – Odette, the white swan, lyrical and poetic, and Odile, the black swan, evil and fatal.
Le Lac des cygnes is among the most famous ballets in the world and the most frequently performed in theatres.
The music of Piotr Tchaïkovski transports the audience into a poetic realm, a universe of grace, elegance, and infinite beauty.
The splendor of the sets and costumes, the aesthetics and poetry of classical dance, performed with brilliance and elegance, make this show a true gem!
An absolute must-see!
Music: Piotr Tchaïkovski Choreography: Marius Petipa
