Ballet Dream: Swan Lake
The International Ballet Festival is a fairy tale of beauty, elegance and grace. A perfect work of art with live orchestral accompaniment.
The International Ballet Festival presents one of the most famous ballets to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, "Swan Lake”.
For many, "Swan Lake” is synonymous with ballet in general. The romantic tale of the young Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with the swan princess Odette and wants to free her from the evil spell of Duke Redbeard, is a story about the power of true love.
This ballet piece is included in the standard repertoire of all major troupes. In particular, the Allegro Moderato from the Swan Dances of Act II is the subject of countless parodies in Lev Ivanov's choreography and is therefore known far beyond the ballet public as the Dance of the Four Little Swans. In short: a brilliant work by a brilliant composer that has captivated audiences for centuries.
"Swan Lake” brings to the stage one of the best classical ballet ensembles – the International Ballet Festival. In addition, the magnificent set design of the brilliant theater designer Vyacheslav Okunev, working at the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg and La Scala in Milan, among other things, beautiful costumes, boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the ballet ensemble provide a dreamy and fairytale version of classical ballets that continue to enchant even after more than 100 years.
