Swan Lake: Estonian touring ballet says this classic production belongs to the world, not Russia
A Swan Lake formation of tutu-wearing female dancers is the image that most frequently comes to mind when you mention classical ballet. And Tchaikovsky’s swelling score is the typical sound that features in the mind’s ear. Children learning ballet are introduced to this totemic ideal early on; it is the graceful ideal to strive for.
irst produced in 1877 in the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and constantly revived all over the world, Swan Lake has a particular resonance at this moment in time. It has been broadcast on state TV in Russia during times of political trauma, including as a place filler during the coup of 1991 that fuelled the break-up of the USSR.
