IL LAGO DEI CIGNI - SWAN LAKE

Music: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Choreography: Luigi Martelletta

Considered one of the most famous and enchanting ballets of the classical repertoire, the production is performed by a highly prestigious company with over twenty-five years of experience.

Tchaikovsky’s extraordinary music, combined with elegant choreography, will guide the audience through an evocative and engaging evening.

The story follows a princess who becomes the victim of an evil spell cast by the sorcerer Rothbart, whose love she has rejected. Because of the curse, she is forced to spend daylight hours in the form of a white swan. Only a vow of true love can break the enchantment.

One night, Prince Siegfried encounters Odette, the princess transformed into a swan: their eyes meet, love is born, and the prince vows to save her.

Faithful to academic tradition yet attentive to contemporary taste, Luigi Martelletta presents a more lively, dynamic, and fluid version of the ballet, lightened from those mannerisms and pantomimes that can sometimes appear slow or overly elaborate.

All the elements most beloved by audiences will be present: the enchanting swans, the Spanish, Russian, Neapolitan, and Hungarian character dances, the famous pas de deux, and much more.

The uniqueness of this production lies in its ability to blend fantasy and reality, offering a vibrant and modern performance while preserving a deeply rooted expressive tradition that reflects the enduring history of ballet.
