The Story
The world-famous ballet Swan Lake is one of the most popular ballets of all and is a classic on all well-known stages in the world. The music was written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The ballet Swan Lake was first performed in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and has been part of the standard repertoire ever since. The historical staging was designed by Ezio Frigerio and Franca Squarciapino. It reflects the romance of the music with the white swans on a calm but moving body of water with lights and colors.
