A ballet dream: "Swan Lake"

The International Festival Ballet presents a spectacle of beauty, elegance, and grace. An accomplished work of art accompanied by a live orchestra. "Swan Lake" is for many synonymous with ballet. This romantic tale about 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 Redbeard, is a story about the power of true love. This ballet piece is part of the standard repertoire of all major companies. The Allegro Moderato of the swan dances from the second act, in particular, has been the subject of countless parodies in Lev Ivanov's choreography and is therefore known as the "dance of the four little swans" far beyond the ballet-loving audience. In short: a brilliant work by a brilliant composer that has captivated audiences for centuries. "Swan Lake" is magically brought to the stage by one of the best classical ballet ensembles, the International Festival Ballet. Furthermore, the grandiose sets by the brilliant theatre designer Vjatscheslav Okunev, who works for the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg and La Scala in Milan, among others, the magnificent costumes, and the boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the "International Festival Ballet" guarantee a dreamy and enchanting version of a classical ballet that still fascinates after more than 100 years.
