Moscow Festival Ballet: Swan Lake

Hope reigns in this poignant tale from Marius Petipa, Tchaikovsky, and the Moscow Festival Ballet. In Swan Lake, Odette yearns for freedom as she awaits Prince Siegfried’s declaration of love and her release from a swan’s body. Tricked by the sinister von Rothbart, Siegfried mistakenly courts the look-alike Odile, who drives him to a desperate act. This production springs from Moscow Festival Ballet founder and Artistic Director Sergei Radchenko’s capacity to infuse the elegance of the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies into a troupe of dancers from across Russia who capture the heart-catching splendor of classical dance.
