Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake (Schwanensee)

To mark the 50th anniversary of Rudolf Nureyev's legendary production of Tschaikovsky's ballet in 1964, the Vienna State Opera is now reviving it with new sets and costumes designed by Julia Spinatelli, whose concept is inspired by the fairytale phantasy world of King Ludwig II incorporating simple, painted backdrops and few accessories, to present a new Swan Lake.
