The Best of Swan Lake by P. I. Tchaikovsky

Watch The Best of Swan Lake performance in Hybernia Theatre located in the city centre performed by top dancers - soloists of leading Czech ballet scenes (chamber cast). <BR><BR> The Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is a classic fairytale, filled with princes, princesses, sorcerers, evil, magic spells, and true love of a Prince and the subtle Odette, who is turned into a swan by the evil Rothbart. <BR><BR> The ballet belongs to the most famous ballets ever. Composed in 1875, like the Nutcracker, Swan Lake was unsuccessful after its first year of performance. Conductors, dancers and audiences alike thought Tchaikovskys music was too complicated and hard to dance to. Much is unknown about the original production of Swan Lake – no notes, techniques or instruction concerning the ballet were written down. Only little can be found in letters and memos. <BR><BR> It wasn’t until after Tchaikovsky’s death that Swan Lake was revived. Much of the Swan Lake we know of today was a revision by the famous choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in 1895.
