But which prince would fall in love with a swan? Luckily, a brave hero appears who recognizes the inner beauty of the creature. He falls in love with Odette and breaks the spell.
Who could stage the dance fairy tale better than the GRAND CLASSIC BALLET? With emotional sensitivity, gripping drama, and the musical masterpieces of P.I. Tchaikovsky, the talented Russian artists present the magical love story in their own unique way.
The demands on the dancers in "Schwanensee" are very high. It is pure artistry, performed to the seductive and well-known sounds of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, captivating audiences for many years. The exquisite and refined dances come from Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. They also convey the finest nuances of human emotions.
"Schwanensee" was originally a commissioned work. Tchaikovsky composed the piece at the request of the Imperial Theatre of Moscow during the years 1875 and 1876. The world premiere took place on February 20, 1877, at the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre.
Such heartfelt aesthetics are achieved by very few ballet performances. However, one succeeds every time – Schwanensee. The ballet classic never goes out of style. Since its premiere on February 20, 1877, at the famous Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, the dramatic musical story has captivated audiences. It is not without reason that the dance fairy tale of the successful composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky has long been regarded as one of the most significant works in the national and international music and theater scene. The greatest fame was secured by the magical productions of Burmeister in Moscow, George Balanchine in New York, and Cranko in Stuttgart.
And even today, more than a century after its premiere in Moscow, Schwanensee continues to enchant as it did on the first day. The emotionally outstanding pieces of music by P.I. Tchaikovsky, combined with the refined dances of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, have become timeless. Regardless of space and time, they express the subtle nuances of the human emotional world. Of course, this musical and dance masterpiece also shows its magical effect in the here and now, in the year 2024.
Art of classical ballet.
Ballet can conquer all hearts and penetrate the depths of the human soul. It allows one to rejoice, weep, empathize, and capture the thoughts of the observer. He learns what he thought, what he admired, or what horrified him – that is the art of classical ballet.
Ballet is part of the overall choreography, the joy, the excitement of the individual, their team, and the audience. The instrument of this joy is dance. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairy-tale environment, bringing danger, fate, intrigues, charm, and disappointment to mankind. Death sometimes appears in ballet, and sometimes even a graveyard. Yet sadness and joy do not present themselves in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in festive garments. They are covered with a veil of joy, where sadness has faded, and joy becomes contemplative. But the true content reveals itself in the dances themselves. Thus characterizes A.L. Volinski, ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, this art.
