‘The Swan Lake’, a ballet of beauty and unparallelled music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, was born at the Bolshoi in 1877.
In the dual role as the white swan, Odette, and her rival black swan, Odile, the prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova exudes both vulnerability and cunning through superb technical mastery, alongside the powerful and emotional Siegfried, Denis Rodkin.
Through the breathtaking scenes and with the ballet of Bolshoi, 'The Swan Lake' is one of the excellences of classical ballet.
