Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake by Boris Gruzin

This magnificent Royal Ballet production of Swan Lake is an unforgettable experience. Anthony Dowell's interpretation of Petipa andIvanov's 1895 St Petersburg version set a standard and style that made it a 'yardstick for others' (New York Times). Wonderfulchoreography for the entire company includes the coveted double role of the gentle and vulnerable swan queen Odette and herpredatory alter-ego, the black swan Odile. It is a challenge relished by principal ballerinas, and is danced here in a spell-bindingperformance by Natalia Osipova, partnered by Matthew Golding as a powerful and empathetic Prince Siegfried. Tchaikovsky's gloriousscore shines, given the full force of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Boris Gruzin, and Yolanda Sonnabend'sdetailed, Faberginspired designs evoke the atmosphere of Imperial Russia in the era of the ballet's creation.
