Product Description
Tchaikovsky composed Swan Lake in 1875-76. The ballet failed to attract a positive reception. Over time, however, it became one of the most popular of all of Tchaikovsky's works. The ballet was first performed by the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow.
Swan Lake is a romantic ballet in four acts, with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's music. Scene 10, also known as the finale, is a tragic and iconic moment in the ballet. It features the death of the main characters, Prince Siegfried and Odette, the white swan, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The ballet's music is one of Tchaikovsky's most valuable works, and it is known for its technically and emotionally challenging nature. The dual role of Odette, the innocent white swan, and Odile, the malevolent black swan, is typically performed by one dancer, although some avant-garde productions use two dancers for the two swans. The ballet's score is famous for its beautiful and emotional melodies, making it a quintessential piece in the ballet repertoire.
