Based on the 1895 revival of the two prominent ballet choreographers Marius Petipa and
Lev Ivanov, which took place for the first time, at the Mariinsky Theatre, in
St. Petersburg, this version of the Swan Lake by Nureyev was actually created in
1986, for the Paris Opera Ballet.
The libretto, which is argued to be written by both Vladimir Begichev and Vassili Geltser, is mainly based on “Der graduate Schleier” (English: The Stolen Veil), a story by the great German author Johann Karl August Musäus, with a slight resemblance to the popular Russian fairy tale “The White Duck”.
The Swan Lake will be performed at Opera Bastille by the best dancers of the Paris Opera ballet together with the Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris, under the conduction of Vello Pähn. It lasts 2 hours and 35 minutes and includes only one break.
