Swan Lake
Ballet composed by Piotr Ilich Tchaïkovsky (1840-1893). The work was commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow but its premiere on 20 February 1877, with choreography by Julius Reisinger, was received with little enthousiasm. On 27 January 1895 it was put on again at the Mariinski Theatre of Saint Petersburg, establishing the ballet as one of the best musical compositions in history.
