Swan
Lake Ballet - June 2017
We
went to 2 performances at the Vienna Opera House.
The first was Tchaikovsky's ballet, Swan
Lake.
He composed the music for it in 1875–76. Despite
its
initial failure, it is now one of the most popular of all ballets.
The scenario, initially in two acts, was fashioned from Russian folk
tales and tells the story of Odette,
a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse.
It was very spectacular and enjoyable.
