Step into the role of Princess Odette. The beauty has been transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer. And only one thing can save her from the wrong body – the love of a prince. But what prince would fall in love with a swan? Luckily, a brave hero 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, captivating drama, and the musical masterpieces of P.I. Tchaikovsky, the talented Russian artists present the magical love story in their very own way.
The demands on the dancers in “Schwanensee” are very high. It is the purest artistry, performed to the seductive and well-known melodies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky that has captivated audiences for many years. The exquisite and refined dances come from Marius Pepita and Lev Ivanov. They express even 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 in the years 1875 and 1876. The premiere took place on February 20, 1877, at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
Such emotionally charged aesthetics is achieved by very few ballet performances. One that manages to do so every time is – 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 no wonder that the dance fairy tale by 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 achieved 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 still enchants like on the first day. The emotionally outstanding musical pieces by P.I. Tchaikovsky, combined with the refined dances by Marius Pepita and Lev Ivanov, have become timeless. Independent of space and time, they express the fine nuances of human emotions. Naturally, the musical-dance masterpiece also showcases its magical effect here and now, in the year 2024.
The art of classical ballet.
Ballet has the power to conquer all hearts and penetrate the depths of the human soul. It evokes joy, sorrow, empathy, captures the thoughts of the observer. One learns what one thought, what one admired, or was horrified – that is the art of classical ballet.
Ballet is part of the overall choreography, the jubilation, the excitement of the individual, their team, and the audience. The instrument of this jubilation is dance. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairy-tale setting that brings danger, strokes of fate, intrigue, charm, and disappointment to humanity. Death sometimes appears in ballet and sometimes even a cemetery. Yet sorrow and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life but in solemn garments. They are covered with a veil of jubilation, where sorrow has faded and joy becomes contemplative. However, the true essence reveals itself in the dances themselves. This is how A.L. Volinski, ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art.
Admission from 4 PM.
