Swan Lake POB. 1992.


Watch The Performance here:

"Swan Lake" is a complex ballet written and orchestrated by 19th century Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
While his heritage and training caused him to struggle with the conventions of Western music,
Tchaikovsky emerged as a unique voice that wasn't limited by the divisiveness of his Russian influences and peers.
His unwavering melodic lines and commanding sense of harmony and thematic repetition has allowed his compositions
to thrive and retain the impact they had when first performed.
Odette/Odile:  Marie Claude Pietragalla
Prince Siegfried: Patrick Dupond
Vladimir Bourmeister choreographs this take on Tchaikovsky's famous ballet,
with the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet
