What is being performed
Swan Lake is the ballet by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, premiered in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, considered the most performed work in the history of dance. The version presented at Teatro Olympia follows the choreography by L. Ivanov and M. Petipa, with staging and direction by Andrey Sharaev, set design by Evgeny Gurenko, and lighting design by Alexander Soloviev.
The plot follows Prince Siegfried, who at his birthday celebration learns he must choose a bride at the next ball. By a lake, he meets Princess Odette, cursed by the evil Rothbart, and invites her to the palace ball, where he mistakenly pledges his love to Odile. Upon discovering the deception, he fights for Odette.
