El Lago de los Cisnes - Imperial Heritage Ballet

Classical ballet by Chaikovski in the version of the Imperial Heritage Ballet, following the story of Odette and Siegfried at the Auditorio Municipal Príncipe de Asturias in Torremolinos.

The story follows Siegfried, a prince who meets Odette by a lake. She lives under a spell that forces her to take the form of a swan, and the love that grows between them manages to challenge the power of Rothbart. With the arrival of Odile, the Black Swan, the promise of happiness becomes a game of deception, intrigue and destiny.

The Imperial Heritage Ballet's staging is based on the music of Piotr Chaikovski and a libretto by Vladimir Begichev and Vasily Geltzer. The choreography is by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, and the set and costume design are the responsibility of Classic Stage. The company combines the technical discipline of ballet with a poetic reading of light versus darkness, in which hope withstands adversity.

It is a romantic narrative ballet with a story of love and loyalty, and the performance lasts 140 minutes, with a 20-minute interval. The Auditorio Municipal Príncipe de Asturias in Torremolinos is a venue for concerts and shows, and hosts this production.
