Swan Lake – Swan Lake
The Original 1877 Version by Pyotr Tchaikovsky

Starring Prima Ballerina of Vienna State Ballet LIUDMILA KONOVALOVA
and Principal Dancer of Staatsballett Berlin DAVID MOTTA SOARES

Swan Lake is the most famous ballet in the world—a masterpiece of art. For the first time in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it will be presented by the international troupe Grand International Classic Ballet, under the direction of Sergei Bobrov, the sole student of the legendary choreographer Yuri Grigorovich. This production will be performed in its original version, based on Tchaikovsky’s authentic 1877 score and libretto.

Grand International Classic Ballet is a constellation of world-class artists from England, Italy, France, and Spain, who have already captivated audiences across the globe.

In this staging of Swan Lake, Sergei Bobrov turns to the original score, preserving the depth of meaning embedded in the ballet’s musical dramaturgy. Audiences will have a rare opportunity to experience the original vision—Tchaikovsky’s own libretto!

This is both a tribute to Tchaikovsky’s genius and a mesmerizing artistic experiment. The weightless white swan-fairies are the iconic symbol of this ballet, while the striking, innovative appearance of a flock of black swans on stage dramatically embodies the battle between light and darkness, love and betrayal.

Choreographer Sergei Bobrov restores Swan Lake to its original romantic essence. Odette is a fairy—just like Sylphide, Giselle, or Undine—so her emotions are otherworldly. Tchaikovsky was fascinated by this theme; he was deeply moved by Giselle and medieval chivalric romances.

The path to happiness for the Prince and Odette is filled with trials and obstacles they must overcome. The exquisitely refined technique of the soloists and the breathtaking synchronicity of the corps de ballet are enhanced by the dramatic expression of each performer, drawing the audience into the fate of the lovers.

Stunning scenic design and unique video projections beautifully complete the picture—sometimes creating the illusion of a medieval castle, sometimes transporting viewers to the shores of a magical lake. This new version also introduces audiences to fascinating characters from the original libretto: from black swans and the wicked fairy Owl, to the swan-fairies as symbols of freedom.

The grace and flawless professionalism of the dancers bring to life the characters conceived by the composer and choreographer in every ballet step.

This tender and exquisitely performed tale invites us to believe in magic—and in eternal love.
