Mariinsky Theatre (1895)

The ballet "Swan Lake" illustrates the ancient legend of the girls, turned into swans by the spell of the wizard Rothbart. The appearance in this tremulous world of the dreamy Prince Siegfried breaks the usual course of events. The oath of eternal love that he makes to the Swan Queen Odette gives them hope for salvation and liberation from the spell. Wanting to prevent the prince from fulfilling his promise, Rothbart prepares a fatal test for him. Odette's place in his heart must be taken by her double, the demonic beauty Odile.

The mystical metamorphoses of the plot are illustrated by the brilliant music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which has made the hearts of spectators beat excitedly for more than a hundred years. In the production of Swan Lake by the Saint-Michel Ballet Theatre, the score includes musical numbers that were lost in the editions of the last century. Their return to the performance makes the choreographic interpretation of the ancient legend more voluminous and precise. Based on the figurative solutions of the first production of the Mariinsky Theatre (1895), the performance recreates its simple atmosphere, shading the dramatic conflict between dreams and reality.

The uniqueness of the performance is emphasized by the design and costumes of Varvara Yevchuk, who endows them with a recognizable, eye-catching style. Sophistication and simplicity are combined in light empire silhouettes, making the characters' plasticity more free and graceful. The variety of choreographic tasks in the performance comprehensively reveals the potential of the troupe, opening up space for virtuosity, acting and plastic perfection.
