I was surprised to learn that the Star Wars ballet<\/a> made for French television during the glorious 1970\u2019s, is not even in the top ten! Nor is the bear riding around in miniature pink car<\/a>, on the list. Believe it or not, most people actually rate Swan Lake as the best ballet of all time!<\/p>\n

But why?<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s not forget that the original staging of Swan Lake in 1877 was universally panned. Critics felt that Tchaikovsky\u2019s music was \u201ctoo noisy\u201d and the choreography as \u201cunimaginative and unmemorable\u201d. Yet despite these blunt and unsympathetic reviews, the show lasted six years with a total of 41 performances. Could there really have been so many deaf and blind patrons back then?<\/p>\n

If the story ended there, Swan Lake probably would have disappeared into the abyss of forgotten mediocrity. But in 1895 there was a Petipa-Ivanov-Drigo revival which changed the choreography and revised Tchaikovsky\u2019s score. The ballet premiered on Friday the 27th of January and unlike the original version, critics weren\u2019t competing to see who could write the nastiest review. The revised version of Swan Lake received unanimous warm praise.<\/p>\n

And now?<\/h3>\n

The next time you feel like an adrenaline shot of culture and decide to go watch Swan Lake, the version you\u2019ll be seeing will most likely be the Petipa-Ivanov-Drigo staging. Today, it\u2019s the most popular version used by ballet companies across the world.<\/p>\n

However, the most important event in the entire rich, century and a half history of Swan Lake is how this has all culminated into the film Black Swan. Yes. That\u2019s right. This is the true ultimate version of Tchaikovsky\u2019s ballet.<\/p>\n

P.S. Is sarcasm lost in writing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
