SWAN LAKE
Ballet in four acts by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Choreography by Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov
Choreographic revision Sergey Bobrov
Conductor Filippo Desi
Ballet and orchestra of the State Opera Varna
The dazzling story of the most beloved ballet performance in the world begins in 1895 on the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. The innovative choreographic revision by Lev Ivanov recreates not only the movements of real swans but also expresses strong emotions such as love, fear, pain, and anxiety. The performance reaches a new psychological depth. In turn, Marius Petipa sets the waltz, mazurka, and other dances for the stage in the palace.
The production of "Swan Lake" by the State Opera Varna is presented in the original choreographic revision by Sergey Bobrov. In his interpretation, the drama is heightened to the utmost, with very high demands on both the technical preparation of the dancers and the emotional portrayal of the characters by the soloists.
The audience will appreciate the effect of the visual contrasts and the extremely impactful tragic finale.
