Styled after traditional Russian folktales and composed by renowned musician Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake was initially met with failure when it debuted in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. In 1895, Petipa, Ivanov, and Drigo produced a version of Swan Lake that became very popular. To this day, many choreographers strive to maintain the traditional choreography for the dances while making their own modifications to the ballet. The 2-act play follows Odette, a princess that was turned into a swan by an evil sorcerers curse. To break the enchantment, Odette must strive to find eternal love or die trying. One day, a hunting expedition takes a prince to the swan lake and he is struck by Odettes beauty and tragic story. Prince Siegfried falls madly in love with Odette. However, he is put under a spell by the sorcerer, who tricks him to propose to another woman. Odette then tries to kill herself by throwing herself into a lake. Unwilling to live without the love of his life, the prince likewise throws himself into the lake, where finally, he is reunited with Odette for all eternity.
