The symbol of classical ballet
Swan Lake is one of the most famous works in dance history. The story of Prince Siegfried and the enchanted Odette combines romantic poetry with dramatic intensity.
The great pas de deux of the white and black swans and the legendary "Dance of the Little Swans" are among the most demanding scenes in the classical repertoire. In combination with Tchaikovsky's sonorous music, they create the special stage magic that has made Swan Lake an audience favorite for over 120 years.
