In 1875 Tchaikovsky was commissioned to compose the score for a ballet that would be called Swan Lake. A full twenty years of unsuccessful versions would be performed and the composer would die in 1893 before the Swan Lake that we know, the Petipa/Ivanov choreography with the glorious Tchaikovsky music, would finally have its debut in 1895. There are reasons why these old story ballets remain in the repertoire of classical ballet companies. Dance fans love them! Moscow Festival’s version of Swan Lake is performed true to the spirit of Petipa’s 1895 choreography and the genius of his ability to marry movement and musicality. Staller Center is happy to welcome back the elegant Moscow Festival Ballet, the enchanted swan maidens and their princess, Odette.
