"Swan Lake" is, for over a century, one of the most popular repertoire of classical ballet. Yet its inception in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Tchaikovsky knew not as successful as hoped. It was not until his adaptation choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lew Iwanow in 1895 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg for the room to become the most successful in the history of ballet. The message of Tchaikovsky on the strength of love that surpasses death is conveyed masterfully and with virtuosity by the Russian National Ballet.
"Swan Lake" tells the story of Prince Siegfried, who, about to get married, falls for the beautiful Swan Princess Odette. But it, enchanted by a magician, is woman the night. The work evokes both melancholy, loneliness, jealousy, anger, sorrow and happiness, but also and especially the victory of love over evil.
