Premiere: June 1, 2007
Swan Lake, most certainly the most popular work on the ballet repertoires around the world in the last one hundred and thirty years since it was created, has become the synonym for ballet theatre. The melodramatic love story about the good and the evil can belong to the legends of any nation, while the magnificent music of the romantic and emotional Tchaikovsky and the fragments of the choreography by Petipa and Ivanov, which are treasured in every staging as museum valuables, inspire enthusiasm in the audience around the world. Like all romantic ballets, this one also requires the utmost synchronization of the ensemble and the performative perfection, and it presents one of the biggest challenges for every ballet ensemble, while the role of Odette/Odilia is considered the peak of the dancing skill for every classical ballet dancer.
The new staging of Swan Lake in the choreography of the well-known guest, the British choreographer Derek Deane, was welcomed with a great interest and almost all performances in the forthcoming season have already been booked. The magical effect of this fairy-ballet was vastly helped by the luxurious set, costumes and lights.
