'Swan Lake'

This popular work is shown prerecorded from the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.The Swan Lake is the first of the three ballets composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). It was represented for the first time in 1877 at the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre with the choreography of Julius Reisinger, although it was not very well received. It was with the work of the choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in 1895, when the play became successful. Petipa was in charge of the first and third acts, while Ivanov devised the second and fourth.
