Swan Lake in 3D




Swan Lake  Лебединое озеро

chor. Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov (1895)
recension Konstantin Sergeyev (1950)

Mariinsky Ballet
Балетная Труппа Марийнскова Театра

with Ekaterina Kondaurova (Odette - Odile), Timur Askerov (Prince Siegfried), and Xander Parish (prince's friend)

rebroadcast in 3D at Cineplex, 18 September 2013

Ekaterina Kondaurova was a marvel as Odette - Odile, remarkably expressing contrasting qualities of the principal character. Timur Askerov danced effectively, though an aristocratically restrained prince. Xander Parish was a delight to watch in this model performance.
