Immerse yourself in the wonderful and enchanting world of the classical ballet “Swan Lake”!

Created almost 150 years ago, “Swan Lake” has become synonymous with the highest level of classical ballet and is one of the most popular ballets in the repertoire of theaters around the world. The ballet in four acts and four scenes is an ancient German legend about Princess Odette, who is turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer.

In November of this year, the well-known troupe “Sofia Festival Ballet” in Europe will present its interpretation of this ballet in Lithuania, which has been delighting audiences all over the world for many years with its perfected classical dance technique and refined choreography. This dance troupe consists of the best dancers of the National Opera and Ballet Theaters of Spain, Bulgaria, Norway, Macedonia, Japan and other countries.

The romantic, tender and poetic love story of the ballet “Swan Lake” begins when Prince Siegfried, who is celebrating his birthday, is pressured by his mother to marry, sees swans flying towards the lake and runs after them with a crossbow in his hand. Once ashore, the swans turn into girls. Enchanted by the beauty of the Swan Princess, Siegfried lowers his weapon and Odette tells him that the girls have been turned into birds by the evil sorcerer Rothbar, and his spell can only be dispelled by the power of faithful love. The prince swears eternal love to Odette.

Unfortunately, keeping the given oath is not so easy: after seeing Odile, the daughter of the evil sorcerer, who looks exactly like Odette, at a feast held in the castle, the prince cannot resist and succumbs to the charms of the seductress. After Siegfried swears his love to Odile, Rothbar triumphs – the prince breaks his promise to Odette, which means that his spell is all-powerful and there is no eternal love. Realizing what he has done, Siegfried runs to the lake and begs Odette for forgiveness. Black swans sent by Rothbar try to separate the lovers, but love gives Siegfried the strength to overcome the evil sorcerer. Evil is defeated, life, love and happiness await the happy Odeta and Siegfried.
