Swan Lake - Ananiashvili, Fadeyechev (DVD)

Swan Lake boasts one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular scores, a story line filled with mystery and fantasy and a dual role for the ballerina requiring a prodigious technique and keen dramatic instincts — demands so effectively met by Nina Ananiashvili in this 1992 performance by the Tchaikovsky Perm State Ballet, widely recognized as one of the most prestigious companies in the world. With Ananiashvili’s frequent partner, Alexei Fadeyechev, as Prince Siegfried.
