Okunev A ballet dream: "Le Lac des cygnesThe International Festival Ballet presents a fairy tale of beauty, elegance and grace. A consummate work of art accompanied by a live orchestra. "Swan Lake" is for many people synonymous with ballet.

This romantic tale of the young Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with the swan princess Odette and wants to free her from the evil spell cast by Duke Barbe-Rouge, is a story about the power of true love. This ballet is part of the standard repertoire of all the great companies.

The Allegro Moderato of the swan dances from the second act, in particular, has been subject to countless parodies in Lev Ivanov's choreography and is therefore known as the "Dance of the Four Little Swans" well beyond the audience of ballet enthusiasts.

In short: a brilliant work by a brilliant composer that has been drawing audiences for centuries. "Swan Lake" is presented on stage almost as if by magic by one of the finest classical ballet companies, the International Festival Ballet.

In addition, the magnificent sets by the brilliant theatre designer Vyacheslav Okunev, who has worked, among others, for the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg and La Scala in Milan, the splendid costumes, and the boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the "International Festival Ballet" guarantee a dreamy, fairy-tale version of a classical ballet that still fascinates after more than 100 years.
