The Swan Lake at Gran teatro

One of the most beautiful and famous of Tchaikovsky and whole story ballets.

The Crown of Russian Ballet of Moscow, a renowned company with extensive international experience, presents this show full of romanticism and lyricism.



Tchaikovsky had not written never before music for ballet when he accepted the project of the Imperial theatres of Moscow perform Swan Lake, because "he needed money and for some time that she wanted to try to compose music of that kind". The most popular ballet in the history premiered in 1877 at the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre, and was a resounding failure. The success would not get him until 1895, when it was performed with a new version in the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg signed by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petisa. A success that unfortunately Tchaikovsky never would see, because he had died two years earlier.



The work, in the form of fairy tale, narrates the story of impossible love between Prince Siegfried and Odette, a young Queen turned into a Swan next to all his court by the spell of the evil Von Rothbart. The young man retrieves his human form only at night and only shall be released from the spell by him that jure eternal love. To compose Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky was worth of fragments of other works: a ballet based on a German legend (from which the name) and remodeled passages of his operas Odina and the Voyevoda.
