SUMMARY:Swan Lake
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Using the medium of classical dance\, Swan Lake tells the story
  of Prince Siegfried and his love for the enchanted Princess Odette\, who 
 is trapped in the body of a swan. Alternating between swan and human\, it 
 is her destiny to be the object of the fantasies of the unhappy prince. In
  Patrice Bart’s interpretation\, it is Siegfried’s mother who adores h
 er son and holds all the threads of his fate in her hands. Without scruple
 s\, she manipulates his friend Benno and uses Prime Minister Rotbart as he
 r accomplice. Drawing inspiration from the Romanov era in the Russian Tsar
 ist Empire\, this production is permeated by a haunting sense of decline\,
  characterized by the unsettling combination of emotional coldness and dec
 adence. The young prince finds refuge in his encounters with the swans. Th
 e captivating effect of these majestic birds is expressed in the large-sca
 le swan images of the ballet\, which are choreographically inspired by the
  archaic flight formations and their natural yet unreal beauty. With the d
 ancers’ tutus resembling the white plumage of the birds\, these imposing
  scenes have become synonymous with classical ballet. But Swan Lake has al
 so become legendary because of the music by Peter I. Tchaikovsky\, who imp
 arts his unmistakable sound to the contrasting moods: whether it’s the l
 onging that brings Prince Siegfried and Odette together or the deceptive s
 plendour of the ball scenes\, where the entire court falls under the spell
  of the seductive Odile. As Odette’s doppelgänger\, she leads the princ
 e to the tragic vow that betrays his sincere love.
