There are many colourful ballets such as The Sleeping Beauty, Carmen or Don Quixote; however, when we think of ballet, the image that comes to mind for most of us is that of the delicate white swans — fragile and elegant.

Below, we will explore the history of how this ballet achieved worldwide fame: where its endearing storyline originated, how its spectacular music was composed, and how it came to be considered the quintessential classical ballet.

We know that the libretto for Swan Lake was written under the direction of the Imperial Theatres of Moscow. Its authors were Helzer, a dancer and teacher, and Bergichev, a playwright and manager of the Imperial Theatres.
