SWAN LAKE

Swan Lake embodies everything that made classic ballet famous and is fascinating people all over the world.

The Russian National Ballet from Moscow is presenting the most popular ballet classic "Swan Lake" in a remarkable performance. The immortal and touching music of Pjotr Tschaikowski, a fairy-tale plot, captivating dances as well as opulent costumes and stage settings, turns this production into a fascinating experience.

Revealing his Russian soul, Tschaikowski enthused people way beyond typical ballet lovers with his music for "Swan Lake": Especially "The Dance of the Little Swans" acquired worldwide recognition. The Russian ballet, Swan Lake in particular, expresses feelings without wasting any words. Music and dance melt into one language, easily understood by anyone.

"If I was able to express my feelings with words, I wouldn't have to dance at all" said prima ballerina assoluta Margot Fonteyn.

The Russian National Ballet from Moscow is counted among today's best. Star soloists of the legendary Bolschoi-Ballet Moscow join the ensemble and contribute to success with their extensive repertoire, from Great Britain, Italy and countless cities in Germany over to China and South Africa. Founder and artistic director Sergei Radchenko was also the first soloist of the Russian Ballet Company Bolschoi-Ballet Moscow and partner of prima ballerina assulta Maja Plissezkaja. Due to it's broad repertoire the Russian National Ballet celebrates eternal success all over the world.

This year the Russian National Ballet proudly presents in the main role of Odette
LIUDMILA TITOVA

The plot:
The story about the spellbound swan princess, who can only be released through true love, is world-famous. Prince Siegfried is supposed to marry, but falls in love with the foreign girl Odette instead of one of the ladies he is expected to. He swears eternal love to her. However, the beautiful Odette is cursed with an evil spell, only allowing her to wander around in her human form for a few hours at night. The perfidious magician Rotbart sniffs his chance: He sends his own daughter Odile in the shape of Odette to the castle to deceive prince Siegfried. He succeeds and the blinded prince reneges his promise. He asks for Odelle`s forgiveness, as he realises that he got fooled.

Let yourself be enchanted by the myth "Swan Lake" and immerse yourself in a world full of beauty, elegance and harmony, when Tschaikowski`s music rings out on stage.
