Moscow Festival Ballet
Swan Lake

The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Radchenko, sought to realize his vision of a company which would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classical ballet. Leading dancers from across Russia have forged under Radchenko’s direction an exciting new company staging new productions of timeless classics. The 50-member company will perform Tchaikovsky's famous Swan Lake. Tchaikovsky drew from multiple sources to create the story of Swan Lake, including Slavic folklore and the work of Alexander Pushkin. Today, critics consider the ballet to be one of the cornerstones of Russian classical ballet, along with The Nutcracker. This ballet, composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, tells the story of Prince Siegfried and his search for love. He finds it in Odette, the Swan Queen, but a plot by an antagonist interferes with their blossoming affection.
