Alpha FG Music and Grand International Classic Ballet present the Swan Lake Classical Ballet in Switzerland and Liechtenstein!

​

Ballet in two acts

Music by P. Thaikovsky

Choreography by Marius Petipa, revised version by Andrei Batalov.

​

Peter Tchaikovsky's first version from 1877.

 

‘Swan Lake’ is the most famous ballet in the world, a perfect creation of art. For the first time in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it will be presented by the international company Grand International Classic Ballet under the direction of Sergei Bobrov, the only pupil of the legendary choreographer Yuri Grigorovich. The production will be performed in its original version, based on the original source material by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

 

Grand International Classic Ballet is a constellation of first-class artists from England, Italy, France and Spain, who have already conquered half the world with their art.

 

In his production of Swan Lake, Sergei Bobrov turns to the original score, thus preserving all the meanings underlying the musical dramaturgy of the ballet. The audience will have a unique chance to touch the original source - Pyotr Tchaikovsky's libretto!

 

This is both a tribute to Tchaikovsky's genius and a mesmerising ballet experiment at the same time. Weightless white fairy swans are the hallmark of this ballet, and the impressive and innovative appearance on stage of a flock of black swans dramatises the struggle between light and darkness, love and betrayal.

 

Choreographer Sergei Bobrov returns Swan Lake to its original meaning as a romantic ballet.  Odette is a fairy, just like Sylphide, Giselle and Undine, so her feelings are unearthly. Peter Tchaikovsky was fascinated by this very theme, he was madly fond of ‘Giselle’ and chivalric romances.

 

On the road to happiness, the Prince and Odette face obstacles and trials which they must overcome. The marvellously honed skills of the soloists and the striking synchronisation of the corps de ballet are complemented by the dramatic talent of each performer, making the audience feel for the lovers.

 

Highly artistic scenery and unique video content beautifully complete the picture, either creating the illusion of being in a medieval castle or transporting the audience to the shores of a fairytale lake. The new edition introduces the viewer to the amazing characters historically established in the first edition - from the black swans and the evil fairy Owl to the fairy swans as symbols of freedom.

 

The grace and impeccable professionalism of the dancers bring to life the characters put by the composer and choreographer into each ballet pas.

 

For the first time in Swiss cities and Liechtenstein: Geneva, Lausanne, Thun, Zurich, Lucerne, Schaan (Liechtenstein).

 

This awe-inspiring story, performed so delightfully, makes you believe in magic and eternal love!

 

See you at the theatre!
