The scenario, initially in four acts, was fashioned from Russian folk tales and tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerers curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger. The ballet was premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet on 4 March 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Polina Karpakova, the first Odette-Odile, in all her grace and beauty. Taken by a Russian photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases Karpakova's talent as she embodies both the delicate innocence of Odette and the seductive allure of Odile. The Swan Lake ballet, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875-1876, serves as the backdrop for this iconic portrayal. Based on Russian folk tales, it tells the story of Princess Odette who is transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. The original production was choreographed by Julius Reisinger and premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow on March 4th, 1877. Although various versions of Swan Lake exist today, most ballet companies draw inspiration from Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's revival in 1895. This staging became a benchmark for both choreography and music within the ballet world. In this portrait, Karpakova exudes elegance as she stands three-quarter length dressed as both Odette and Odile. Her poise reflects years of dedication to her craft as she brings these characters to life through dance. This photograph not only celebrates Karpakova's groundbreaking role but also pays homage to one of classical ballet's most beloved productions. It serves as a reminder of how artistry can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences throughout generations.
