RUSSIAN NATIONAL OPERA: The most performed ballet in the world, Swan Lake is back in 2022 for a grand tour in France and Europe. As in previous years, a new Russian company will present this timeless classical masterpiece. This ballet plunges us into the crazy love story of Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette. Odette is unfortunately trapped by the famous spell of the magician Rothbart: she turns into a swan by day and becomes a woman again by night. Only the promise of eternal love can free her from this spell. Siegfried promises Odette to marry him at the ball given in her honor. Will they escape the tricks of Rothbart and his daughter Odile? Will the Prince manage to save his bride? Created in 1875 by the Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, it was in 1895 with the revival by choreographer Marius Petipa that Swan Lake became the greatest classical success of all time. Between Pas de deux, romantic duets and the Dance of the Little Swans, the dancers, accompanied by the orchestra, will interpret this masterful work with elegance. A symbol of romantic ballet, Swan Lake has enchanted and continues to enchant generations of audiences.
