Swan Lake (Russian: Лебединое Озеро, Lebedinoye Ozero) is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875-1876. The scenario, initially in four acts, by Vladimir Begichev and Vasiliy Geltser was fashioned from Russian folk tales as well as an ancient German legend. It tells the story of Odette, a girl turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse, and her romance with Prince Siegfried, who vows to love only her and save her from the curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger. The ballet received its premiere on February 27, 1877, at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow as Le lac des cygnes ("The Lake of the Swans"), French being the language of the Imperial Russian court. Although it is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the 1895 revival of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, first staged for the Imperial Ballet on January 15, 1895, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. For this revival, Tchaikovsky's score was revised by the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre's chief conductor and composer Riccardo Drigo.Many critics have disputed the original source of the Swan Lake story. The Russian ballet patriarch Fyodor Lopukhov has called Swan Lake a "national ballet" due to the swans which are common in Russian romantic lyrics, while many of the movements of the corps de ballet originated from Slavonic ring-dances. According to Lopukhov, "both the plot of Swan Lake (despite the fact that it is based on German source), the image of the Swan, and the very idea of a faithful love are essentially Russian". Though the scenario is (as in the case of The Nutcracker) tenuously based on a story by a German author, in this case Johann Karl August Musäus' Der geraubte Schleier ("The Stolen Veil"), this provides only the general outline of the plot; the Russian folktale "The White Duck" also bears some resemblance to the story of the ballet and might have been another possible source. The contemporaries of Tchaikovsky recalled the composer taking great interest in the life story of Ludwig II, the Bavarian King and Count Palatine of the Rhine, who was constantly associated with the symbol of the Swan, and whom "whether consciously or not" Tchaikovsky chose as the prototype of the dream-haunted Prince Siegfried.Alongside The Nutcracker, also composed by Tchaikovsky, it's probably the most famous ballet of all time. Any time a character in a movie or a television series goes to the ballet, it's likely to be Swan Lake by default. Even the general public, which is largely ignorant to the ballet, is familiar with at least the basics of Swan Lake. | |

Canon Foreigner: In The Royal Ballet and The National Ballet of Canada productions, Prince Siegfried has two sisters whereas most productions imply that he is an only child. Lac by Jean Christophe Maillot adds a father for the prince who is the king. Most productions don’t explain the king’s absence though it’s safe to assume that he is already dead by the time of the ballet’s events. note The Birmingham Royal Ballet production, to its credit, opens with the king’s funeral procession in order to explain his absence. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Swan Lake (Theatre) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Quite a few endings have been performed, most of them bittersweet. This video lists many variations. The 1877 ballet, which few modern productions follow, has Odette refuse to forgive Siegfried for his betrayal. Unwilling to be without her in life or death, he throws the magic crown protecting her into the lake, which overflows and kills them both. In the 1895 ballet, Siegfried's mistaken pledge of fidelity to Odile consigns Odette to remain a swan forever. After realizing that her last moment of humanity is at hand, Odette commits suicide by throwing herself into the lake. The Prince does so as well. This act of sacrifice and love breaks Von Rothbart's power, and he is destroyed. The happiest ending has Siegfried struggle with Von Rothbart and tear off one of his wings, thereby destroying his powers. Siegfried has broken the spell of the swan maidens and marries Odette. In yet another, the Prince's declaration that he wishes to marry Odile constitutes a betrayal that condemns Odette to remain a swan forever. Odette is called away into swan form, and Siegfried is left alone in grief as the curtain falls. One has a Hope Spot. Odette forgives Siegfried for his betrayal and the promise of reconciliation shines momentarily... before Rothbart summons forth a violent storm, causing the lake to overflow and drown Siegfried. When the storm subsides, Odette is left alone to mourn the dead Siegfried. The Paris Opera version is a straight up The Bad Guy Wins. Rothbart fights with Siegfried, who is overcome and dies, leaving Rothbart to take Odette triumphantly up to the heavens in bird form. Still another has the Prince drag Rothbart into the lake, where both drown. Odette is left as a swan, cursed and widowed forever. The Ballet Jörgen version has a similar ending except that Rothbart's death frees Odette from his curse. Another ending has a Pyrrhic Victory. Odette kills herself, and as Siegfried goes to do the same, Rothbart blocks his way. They fight, with Siegfried victorious, and the other swan maidens break free and trample Rothbart. That done, Siegfried goes to follow Odette into death. His friend Benno fetches his body from the lake. There is an ending where Siegfried tries to kill Rothbart with his crossbow, missing and hitting Odette instead. Odette falls as a human since Rothbart's spell is now broken. The Prince embraces her as she dies, then carries her lifeless body into the lake, where he also drowns himself. The Royal Danish Ballet ending has Siegfried being forced by Rothbart to marry his daughter, after condemning Odette to her curse as a swan forever by mistakenly professing his love to Odile. The 2019 Dutch National Ballet version combined several elements of various endings, having Rothbart summon Odile in the finale to force the prince's hand. When Siegfried persists in picking Odette, Odile takes her away while Rothbart kills him with a storm, leaving the courtiers and Benno to search for Siegfried and mourn over his body. The Boston Ballet had Rothbart defeated, but his spell was unbreakable even in death, leaving Odette a swan. Siegfried followed Odette into the lake and drowned. A similar ending by the Royal Ballet had Siegfried rescue Odette only to find her dead. The Matthew Bourne version has the Prince confined to an asylum as he is considered mad. The Swan appears and dances with the Prince, reassuring him of his love. However, the rest of the swans turn on the lead Swan when it becomes clear that the Swan values his relationship with the Prince more than with them. They separate the lovers and attack the Prince. The Swan leaps in to save his lover and gets killed in the process. A heartbroken Prince wails and collapses onto his bed; the Queen finds her son dead. However, the final tableau shows the Swan tenderly embracing a young Prince. The Milwaukee Ballet version has Rothbart stabbing Odette before Siegfried’s eyes. Odette, mortally wounded, is carried to the lake by Siegfried, where they drown themselves. Their love defeats both Rothbart and Odile. As in the 1895 ballet, the apotheosis reveals the lovers reunited in death. The Bolshoi Ballet production has a The Bad Guy Wins ending as Siegfried is defeated in a confrontation with Rothbart, who seizes Odette and takes her away to parts unknown before the lovers can unite, and Siegfried is left by himself at the lake. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Swan Lake (Theatre) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Depending on the production, Siegfried's friend Benno, his tutor Wolfgang, and/or the Jester can be cut out without disrupting the narrative. Odette's evil stepmother is traditionally adapted out, with von Rothbart as the main villain. Film adaptations of the story often cut out the other swan-maidens, making Odette the sole enchanted swan.note The Barbie version, to its credit, adds other enchanted animals that seem to take the place of the other swans, including a cygnet. The Northern Ballet and Scottish Ballet productions have removed von Rothbart in order to create an original story (in the case of the Northern Ballet production) or to modernise the narrative and make Odette less passive (in the case of the Scottish Ballet production). | |

Some versions give Odile a more sympathetic portrayal and/or have her perform a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Bittersweet Ending: When Siegfried accidentally confesses his love to Odile, he seals Odette's fate: her spell is now unbreakable. Odette, doomed to swan form perpetually, leaps into the lake and drowns herself. Unwilling to live without her, Siegfried follows suit and the two die together. Sometimes, the two are shown rising to heaven in an apotheosis. In some versions of the ballet, this is changed to a happy ending, where Odette lives and she and the other swans are freed from their captivity, and sometimes this includes a more sympathetic role for an Odile who is redeemed as well. | |

Downer Ending: There are a few alternative endings, including Siegfried's accidental betrayal causing Odette to turn into a swan permanently and Siegfried being left alone to mourn her, and Siegfried attempting to fight Von Rothbart with the result being that they both fall into the lake and drown, leaving Odette both widowed and cursed forever. Another has Rothbart kill Siegfried and claim Odette forever, taking her away as Siegfried futilely reaches towards them in his dying moments. The original ending was also a downer. After Siegfried throws away Odette's protective crown and her stepmother flies off with it while disguised as an owl, the lake overflows and the lovers are drowned. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The 1877 version of the ballet is very different from the popularized 1895 one. Odette and her friends could voluntarily shapeshift into swans, with her grandfather's magic crown protecting her from her evil stepmother, and von Rothbart and Odile were the witch's minions. Odette also refused to forgive Siegfried for his betrayal, which drove him to cast the crown from her head, and the lake overflowed and killed them both. | |

Disneyfication: Depending on the staging, the Bittersweet Ending may be changed to Happily Ever After. The same change was made in the animated feature The Swan Princess, a direct example applied to the ballet's plot. | |

Another ending has a Pyrrhic Victory. Odette kills herself, and as Siegfried goes to do the same, Rothbart blocks his way. They fight, with Siegfried victorious, and the other swan maidens break free and trample Rothbart. That done, Siegfried goes to follow Odette into death. His friend Benno fetches his body from the lake. | |

Setting Update: Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake is set during contemporary times and is based upon the relationships between Princess Diana, Camilla Parker-Bowles and Prince Charles. The love triangle between Odette, Siegfried, and Baroness von Rothbart consigns Odette to a sanatorium, where she escapes into a dream-world of swans. | |

Wicked Stepmother | |

Wicked Stepmother: The original production had given one to Odette to be the main villain (though production material suggests that Odette was turned into a swan to protect her from the witch rather than being cursed directly by her). Rothbart and Odile are her minions. Obviously, most productions avert this by making Rothbart the main villain. | |
