from the royal ballet comes anthony dowell’s glorious production of Swan Lake, a ballet poorly received at its premiere in 1877 but which has since established itself as one of the world’s most beloved works, its bewitching storyline set to sumptuous music and thrilling choreography. dowell’s interpretation, based on the version created by petipa and ivanov for the 1895 st. petersburg production and described as a “yardstick for others” (New York Times), is here renewed through first-class performances from Natalia Osipova, who is riveting in the illustrious double role of Odette-Odile; Matthew Golding, who brings “brilliance and prowess” (New York Times) to the role of prince siegfried; and Gary avis as the evil von rothbart, described as “an electrifying villain” by the Daily Telegraph. veteran ballet conductor boris Gruzin creates a “plangent and pliant”-sounding score (The Arts Desk), while yolanda sonnabend’s fabergé-inspired designs add to the magic of this immensely detailed production.
