CHOREOGRAPHY
Building on Petipa's choreography, the ensemble of the puppet opera under the direction of Munich choreographer Jutta Mähr developed a unique interpretation of the ballet classic. However, even though a puppet can seemingly master every physical challenge effortlessly, it was essential to make the effort visible. The illusion that the muscles strain to the utmost pain threshold, that the dancers truly sweat, and that they must constantly struggle for their balance was the main goal of this production.

STAGE STORY
"Swan Lake" is probably the most famous ballet of all time - all classical companies have it in their repertoire. Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky took half a year (August 1875 to April 1876) to complete his first ballet, which premiered on February 20, 1877, at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. The first Russian guest performance in the West took place in 1969 by the Kirov Ballet. Among the more recent interpretations, alongside the choreography of the star dancer Rudolf Nureyev, especially those by George Balanchine (New York 1951), Vladimir Bourmeister (Moscow 1956), John Cranko (Stuttgart 1963), John Neumeier (Hamburg 2002), and the all-male reinterpretation "Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake" (London 1995) became popular.
