Swan Lake
Performance of the Siena Ballet in the renowned "Swan Lake", a classic repertoire in three acts and four scenes. The famous title of the great classical repertoire, Swan Lake, tells the love story between Prince Siegfried and Odette, a princess transformed into a swan by the wicked wizard Rothbart. Amidst grand court festivities, enchanted love scenes, spells, and deceptions, this great title showcases all the charm of ballet and classical technique, narrating one of the most important love adventures in the history of theater.
Moves from the original choreography of Marius Petipa and the extraordinary music of Tchaikovsky, choreographer Marco Batti for his staging of the quintessential title of academic dance, Swan Lake. And how can one not dream in front of that soft arm extended near the face as if it were a wing that Odette displays in the first act, and not be filled with melancholy for the metamorphosis into a swan that will cause her to lose the beloved Siegfried, who in turn is deceived by the wicked magician Rothbart? With the shores of the lake touched by pure flocks of maidens in tutus and pointe shoes, with sumptuous scenes of courtly festivities and virtuosic pas de deux, the Ballet of Siena, a proud Tuscan reality with an international vocation, restores all the enchantment of this title that has never been tarnished in over one hundred and twenty years of existence. Three acts and four scenes on the overwhelming musical score that Petipa himself defined as "exalted in delivering to us the beauty steeped in nostalgia of the lake of tears."
