Ballet 'Swan Lake' in Astana

The ballet 'Swan Lake' in Astana is a production of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's classic work, taking place at the Palace of Youth (performances). The ballet company performs in the show. The ballet was composed in 1876 and consists of four acts. The libretto was created by Vladimir Begichev and possibly Vasily Geltser, with additions by the composer himself. The origins date back to 1871 when the family of Tchaikovsky's sister Alexandra Davydova staged an amateur version at the Kamenka estate, where Pyotr Ilyich acted as director and choreographer. His younger brother Modest played the Prince, and his niece Tatyana was Odette. More details about the event on Kino.kz.
