| In a palace by
a lake lives a lonely prince named Siegfried who dreams of marrying a woman he can truly
love. One day, while taking a walk along the lake, Siegfried happens upon a group of swans
who transform into lovely young maidens before his eyes. Led by the beautiful Queen
Odette, they are under an evil magician’s spell that can only be broken when Odette
finds a prince who will love her forever. Enchanted by her beauty and grace, Siegfried
promises to marry her, but is his love strong enough to stop the magician’s wicked
plan? The Swan Lake ballet is charmingly brought to life through Nancy Ellison’s captivating photographs. Set in and around Moscow’s spectacular Kuskovo Palace, Swan Lake is a wonderful introduction to the beloved story and ballet as well as an enchanting keepsake for aficionados of the bittersweet tale. |
