Schwanensee, Op. 20 (Russian: Лебединое озеро, Lebedinoe ozero; French: Le lac des cygnes; English: Swan Lake), is a world-famous ballet to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It premiered in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and is part of the standard repertoire of classical ballet companies. The definitive production to this day took place on February 17/January 15, 1895, at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, with a new choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. Later productions mostly followed this version closely.
