Description
Swan Lake was a ballet in four acts, based on a German fairy tale, with music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The first production of the ballet was in Moscow, 4 May 1877, at the Bolshoi Theater, with choreography by Julius Reisinger. This production was not a success.
The story, from a French version of a German tale, is about a princess, Odette, who is turned into a swan by an evil magician, Rothbart; in some versions of the story, all of her friends become swans, too. Every midnight, she (and her friends) become human again for a few hours. One midnight, she is discovered by Prince Siegfried who falls madly in love with her and promises to rescue her. There is a ball in the castle where Siegfried is meant to choose a bride. Odile, Knight Rothbart's daughter, enters as a black swan, looking exactly like Princess Odette. Siegfried is instantly drawn to her, and he declares she will be his bride. Odette then appears and sees what has happened, and he recognizes her too, and realizes he has broken his promise. She rushes off to the lake, and he comes and finds her there. She forgives him, but Rothbart creates a big storm and both Odette and Siegfried are drowned. In some versions, there is a happy ending: Siegfried fights Rothbart and rescues Odette and her companions after breaking the spell. Yet in other versions of Swan Lake, Rothbart surprises the Princess and her companions while they are gathering flowers at the lake and transforms them all into swans.

Are you Famous?If not you should be LOVE...ALL But this one is so EXTRAVAGANT. It looks like a professional Ballet Poster. I'm just a simple comic book guy who has a niece that sings opera, that lives in the United States.But check out my new one...It's The Scarlet Witch Peace for now Tracy
This piece is beyond words, wonderful, incredible artistic, I always admired you but this just took my breath away. excellent!
This is masterfully done - I was really impressed too see you create outside of your 'normal' spectrum of work. This kind of piece reminds me why I look at all of your work: to find the breath-taking works mixed in with the good, nice, and slightly offensive ones.
Exactly. What vishahu said. You really reached outside of your comfort zone with this one, Ori, and it's excellent!!
Such a lovely work. Something so romantic about ballet dancers.
