About Swan Lake(ballet)
Peter Gerstbach (User PeterGerstbach on de.wikipedia)
*Swans Lake* is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s 1870s ballet of mistaken identity, a cursed swan-maiden, and a prince caught between devotion and deception. After a shaky early reception, it entered the canon through later revivals and has remained a proving ground for classical technique, especially the dual roles of Odette and Odile. In New York, the ballet’s history runs through the Metropolitan Opera House and the city’s long appetite for Russian repertory translated into American company style. American Ballet Theatre returns to it amid a season that also places contemporary choreography alongside the classics, underscoring how tradition is continually re-staged.
