In a majestic ceremony, Siegfried is made a knight and young girls try to attract his attention, as he must choose a wife during the ball.

Overcome by the sudden awareness of his future responsibilities, he escapes into the night and meets a strange flock of swans by a magical lake.

White swan by day, human by night, the beautiful Odette awaits an oath of true love to break the curse.

The great legend of the enigmatic swan-woman is one of the most romantic classical ballets, appropriately set in the era of courtly romance and characterised by elegance, style and harmony.
