Swan Lake is the most technically and emotionally challenging classical ballet. Its music far exceeded its time, noting that many of its early performers claimed it was too difficult and complex to dance to. Much is unknown of its original production, but its revised production by the famous choreographers Petipa and Ivanov is the base of the many versions we see today. Swan Lake will always be held as the standard of classical ballets and will be performed throughout the centuries to come.
It always was believed, that Odette and Odile (the white and the black swan) where one person,they incorporated the duality in a woman, the bright and the dark side of her personality. This might have been the reason why both characters were always represented by only one prima ballerina.
I created this kit in memorial of Anna Pavlova, one of my childhood idols, who 'became' the swan by performing. The tutu in this theme kit is an adaption of Pavlova's Odile costume at her last performance of Tschaikovskys famous ballet.
available today at the shop - in the late afternoon it will be released for all NKDA members
