Swan Lake

After last year's Nutcracker, the Kiev Grand Ballet returns to present and magnify Swan Lake. This timeless masterpiece tells the story of Prince Siegfried's love for Odette. Imprisoned by a curse, she turns into a swan by day. Only eternal love can save her from this spell, but a sorcerer's ploy prevents passion from triumphing. At its premiere, Swan Lake failed to convince audiences, and it wasn't until Marius Petipa choreographed the four-act ballet - set to music by Tchaikovsky - that it became a worldwide success. The same choreography is used here by the Kiev Grand Ballet. Graduates of Ukraine's finest theater, opera and ballet schools, these artists offer a magical show for all audiences. Their program at Le Thor is also a tribute from Vaucluse to the Ukrainian people.
