ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Swan Lake is a ballet without which it is impossible to imagine contemporary classical theatre, and in terms of its psychology it is bang up to date. The classical qualities of Swan Lakelie in the precise structural forms, in the strict classical school and in the traditional split of classical and character dance. Its psychology lies in the mysterious theme of duplicity and the well-developed theme of fate and destiny.

Nevertheless, when it appeared in 1877 there was no instant acclaim for Swan Lake. The production staged at the Bolshoi Theatre by Vaclav Reisinger was “one of many”, extremely traditional and in no way innovative. The famous “Russian soul” was absent in it, and neither was there the eternal symbol of Russian spirituality in the image of the Swan.

And Tchaikovsky’s music, in turns mournfully aching, festively triumphant and menacingly fatal, was not regarded as a masterpiece for a long time to come. Initially, Pyotr Ilyich’s opus was received in a very restrained manner: people felt that the ballet was “poor in melodies” and the music “the weakest point of all.”

The spirituality in the rst production was hard to nd: much was hidden by the corps de ballet which rigorously waved their cardboard wings at the premiere – today one could only imagine such a thing in a parody of the ballet! And only the name of Polina Karpakova, who went down in history as the rst performer of the role of Odette (the name of the performer of the role of Odile was covered by three stars on the playbill), tells us that the history of the ballet did not begin in St Petersburg.

But it was in the city on the River Neva that the White Swan “built its nest.” Following a concert in memory of the composer at the Mariinsky Theatre in 1895, when Lev Ivanov showed a “swan scene” – gentle, tender and touching – Marius Petipa, the director of the ballet company in St Petersburg, nally resolved to stage
Tchaikovsky’s debut in the dance genre at the Imperial theatre. The premiere took place one year later, in 1896.

The conductor and composer Riccardo Drigo undertook a very tactical musical revision of the score – it is his version of the music for Swan Lakethat most choreographers follow. The Frenchman Petipa and the Russian Ivanov (the choreographers), the Italian Drigo (conductor and author of this version of the music) and Pierina Legnani as Odette-Odile – these are the creators of the famous myth of Swan Lake.

In the more than century-long existence of Swan Lake at the Mariinsky Theatre, the production has been radically altered on just three occasions, which, you must agree, is very little for a ballet that is over a hundred years old.

The most radical, however strange it may seem, was by a woman – Agrippina Yakovlevna Vaganova, the famed teacher and excellent soloist (in Swan Lake, apropos, she did not particularly stand out at all). She attempted to simplify the mysticism of the libretto and the music, presenting the story of the swan-maiden as the sick hallucinations of an erudite youth, mercilessly killing off the protagonists with no right to resurrection in the nale (in the 1896 production Odette and Siegfried, once dead, were reunited in the afterlife).

All that remains of Vaganova in the current production, however, is the “swan-like” turns of the arms and the dance meeting of Odette and Siegfried: Agrippina Yakovlevna, dissatised with the fussy pantomime nature of this scene, created highly imagistic choreography.

Ten years later Fyodor Lopukhov, another classic of Soviet ballet, resolved to let the male protagonist live and moreover restored Odette’s human image – in the nale she became a woman.

Have you ever faced ballet: did you practice yourself or did your relatives do it? Would you like to study it or send the child to ballet school?

The two future reigning stars of the Mariinsky. It is wonderful to see them together side by side. May with her beautiful arms, charm, and delicate lines and Maria with her exceptional charisma and technique. I did not notice Steppin on stage except on his solo variations.

Hi, I know its late to respond, I recently discovered your channel, I am 12 and I all of the sudden want to start ballet. My family is in a rough condition, family issues, and I want to learn ballet, without putting my mom in a hard condition and make everything more complicating. My mom wanted to put me in ballet when I was a kid and my dad said no, so Im bringing the past into my own hands. I really admire your work but I am not flexible for ballet, but once you find passion for dancing you never quit. :)

The only problem with Maria Khoreva, is that all the others seem a little clumsy
