SWAN LAKE Comes To Estonian National Opera This Month

The Estonian National Opera presents SWAN LAKE, which originally premiered April 2016, on Dec. 6 to Jan. 18.

As one of the quintessential ballets of all time, "Swan Lake" offers an unforgettable experience of romance, virtuoso dancing and Tchaikovsky's magnificent music. Despite the poor reception of the premiere in 1877, it has become one of the most loved and frequently performed pieces. The technically demanding double role of Odette/Ottilie poses a challenge for any prima ballerina. Although "Swan Lake" has been restaged in many versions throughout the ballet's history, most companies rely on the 1985 version by Lev Ivanovand Marius Petipa. Thomas Edur's version combines beautiful dance classics with a loved story of romance, sorcery and the struggle between good and evil.
