Valse (Corps de Ballet) Swan Lake (Russian: Лебединое Озеро, Lebedinoye Ozero, Swan Lake) is a ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky presented in either four Acts, four Scenes (primarily outside Russia and Eastern Europe) or three Acts, four Scenes (primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe), based on a libretto by Vladimir Begichev and (possibly) Vasily Geltser, fashioned from an ancient German legend, which tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. It was originally choreographed by Julius Reisinger to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (opus 20). First presented as The Lake of the Swans by the Ballet of the Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre on February 20/March 4, 1877 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates) in Moscow, Russia. Although the ballet is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the revival by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, staged for the Imperial Ballet, first presented January 15, 1895 at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. For this revival, Tchaikovsky’s score was revised by the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre’s kapellmeister Riccardo Drigo. (We appreciate Wikipaedia’s contributions in the descriptions here)

Peace giving melody…. I love…
@lukebccb What exactly am I dreaming of? :s
Swan Lake is my absolute favourite ballet and I was really happy with Black Swan’s rendition of it. It doesn’t matter if people have only just seen Black Swan and came here. It obviously had some impact on them if they started to research his songs.
Be happy Tchaikovsky is getting even more noticed because of it.
@raveunicorn I think it’s wonderful that Black Swan sparked an interest in classical music… As a violinist, it’s sad for me to say that the crowd coming to symphonies is either very elderly or non-existent. If Black Swan helped perpetuate classical music appreciation then I say that’s freakin fantastic.
@hannabot Very well said!
Thumbs up if you find the circumstances that brought you to love Tchaikovsky’s music absolutely unimportant. You simply love his music, and you’re glad that you aren’t alone. That’s all there is to it.
@hannabot: DREAM ON!
i highly recommend pathetique!…also called symphony#6.
Either way, if people already knew Tchaikovsky before Black Swan or decided to research him after watching it, it doesn’t matter because it’s quite clear that they have excellent taste when it comes to art! Black Swan For The Oscar!!!
Natalie Portman <3
@raveunicorn i think were winning…
Oh for heaven’s sake…..if u love classical music u will love it….but I love ALL music…It is a universal langauage
I’m pretty sure over 90% of people heard this song before Black Swan. Just because many people have rekindled their love of Tchaikovsky, or have been newly introduced to him because of this modern day movie, it doesn’t mean you need to be bitter.
I’d like to see one of the ballerinas in those pictures turn into an actual swan. Pshh…Natalie Portman can’t be beat.
@raveunicorn What if I love Tchaikovsky and never saw Black Swan?
Brain Donors, a better balle movie. Great song regardless.
Who cares whether you liked this before or after the movie? Everyone was introduced to it by something or other.
