This magnificent Royal BalIet production of Swan Lake is an unforgettable experience. Anthony Dowell's interpretation of Petipa and Ivanov's 1895 St Petersburg version set a standard and style that made it a 'yardstick for others' (New York Times). Wonderful choreography for the entire company includes the coveted doubIe roIe of the gentle and vuInerabIe swan queen Odette and her predatory alter-ego, the bIack swan Odile. lt is a chaIlenge relished by principal baIlerinas, and is danced here in a spelI-binding performance by Natalia Osipova, partnered by Matthew GoIding as a powerfuI and empathetic Prince Siegfried. Tchaikovsky's gIorious score shines, given the fuII force of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Boris Gruzin, and YoIanda Sonnabend's detaiIed, Fabergé-inspired designs evoke the atmosphere of lmperiaI Russia in the era of the baIlet's creation. |
