A Vietnamese audience shared about the ballet Swan Lake which premiered on the evening of March 27: "It's superfluous to praise Svetlana Zakharova, but what can I do! She is truly amazing, and her hands are... indescribable, it feels like every movement touches the heart!
Odette and Odile's solos are wonderful. Rodkin is overshadowed by her, but that's fine, the duets are good. The ending is very sad, especially in these times of pandemic... life and death are inches apart, and every mistake is irreparable.
The Bolshoi's ballet corps is truly top-notch, in perfect order. The black swans in acts 3 and 4 were probably added by Grigorovich in this final version, which is also very reasonable. In short, a great ballet, worth staying up to see!
After Swan Lake, the theater is scheduled to premiere five ballets and operas: Sleeping Beauty (March 28), The Tsar's Bride (April 1), Marco Spada (April 4), Boris Godunov (April 7) and The Nutcracker (April 10).
