Synopsis One night, Prince
Siegfried meets Princess Odette by the lake and falls in love with
her. Turned into a swan by the magician Rothbart, the princess is
restored to human form only at night. The prince makes up his mind
to rescue her and swears eternal love for her. However at the ball,
he begs to marry Odile, daughter of the magician, who is identical
to Odette. He asks Odette's forgiveness and fights against his fate,
and finally the love of the two breaks the spell.

A swan comes down upon a lake and when night falls is transformed
into a noble and beautiful woman. Through such a pure and chaste
image, Swan Lake symbolically portrays the love and death
of human beings. Tchaikovsky's dramatic music and the masterful
choreography of Petipa and Ivanov, which brings together the essence
of classic ballet techniques, have combined to create an enduring
masterpiece which remains tremendously popular throughout the
world---so much so that Swan Lake has become synonymous
with ballet today. The NNTT adopts the Sergeyev version, which
has carried the quintessence of the original choreography to the
present day and has an established reputation as the standard
version. Since the first performance by NNTT in 1998, Swan
Lake has been performed in every Christmas season. It is a
part of the repertoire that the New National Theatre Ballet is
especially proud to present to you. With each performance, the
ballet is imbued with new sensibility and never fails to deeply
move the audience. In the upcoming season, dancers, including
guest dancers from the Maryinsky Theatre, will give lively performances
of the work at the beginning of the New Year.
