Grand, romantic and iconic, Swan Lake was the first of Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's three full-length ballets, premiered in 1877. From the haunting, surging theme that opens the work to such celebrated moments as the Waltz and Dance of the Little Swans, its glorious music recounts the ultimately tragic story of Princess Odette, transformed into a swan by an evil magician.
