Step into a fairytale world full of magical swans and music.
School performance
Swan Lake
This fairy tale is about a prince who falls in love with a beautiful swan princess, Odette.
She is enchanted by an evil sorcerer and can only become a human if someone truly loves her. But the wizard wants to prevent that and sends his daughter, who looks exactly like the swan princess, to the prince's ball. Can the prince recognize the real swan princess?
Swan Lake is a beautiful performance with music by Tchaikovsky. He uses different melodies to express the characters and their feelings. For example, there is a sad and graceful theme when Odette introduces herself to the prince, a happy and sparkling waltz when the prince celebrates his birthday, and an exciting and threatening motif when the magician makes his plans. The enchanting puppetry, animation, scenery and acting bring this wonderful fairy tale to life.
