Loudoun Ballet Company

Maureen Miller - Artistic Director

Swan Lake

Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake was composed in 1875 as a commission by Vladimir Petrovich Begichev, of the Russian Imperial Theatres in Moscow. Like The Nutcracker, Swan Lake was originally unsuccessful after its first year of performance. Conductors, dancers and audiences alike thought Tchaikovsky's music was too complicated and too difficult to dance.

The popularity of Swan Lake is found in its romantic and tragic story and the music that accompanies its unfolding. The heroine of Swan Lake is a princess of the night; she is all magic, a creature of the imagination. She is a beautiful bird, except for a brief time - between midnight and dawn - when a mysterious sorcerer allows her to become a beautiful woman. The great love she comes to have for a worldly prince is doomed from the start; having no control over her destiny.

The Loudoun Ballet Company will once again present the magical beauty and elegance of this classic ballet April 12th & 13th, 2008.
