My mama and I live far but when we meet we go to see this opera in Bishkek. We love it and every-time we say this is the last time we are watching it ... but eventually we always go back and check performance schedules to book our tickets. Usually ballets are in the winter time and it is perfect for the mood. I love my mama and our time. Miss her so much today, I can't wait to see this ballet again. xx

I can't believe I sat through all of this just because I've been extra obsessed with Swan Lake this week (I've always loved Swan Lake ever since first hearing it but, this past two weeks It's been really sticky to my head) Anyways, I enjoyed this ^ ^ I really loved observing the differences between Chelpanova Olga's performance between the White Swan and The Black Swan. I also find the evil Baron's expressions of evil delight and his whole antagonistic aura entertaining! I loved the Jester's fun persona, the Queen's elegance and everything else! Everything was in character and honestly I enjoyed this more than I expected! 👏👏💐

[@geraldwalsh6489]

I recently saw Swan Lake here in Cork,Ireland at the Opera House.....had no idea there was so much fantastic music to it,especially Dance of the Sygnets and also Dance of the Swans. Tchaikovsky was a genius

Chelpanova Olga is a very strong skilled dancer, also very good at playing the role of both swans. I do not think that I have seen a dancer that is a strong in her balance, extensions, turns and her transitions are so clean!

This was a superb production in every way and Chelpanova Olga is as fine a dancer/actress as any of the leading dancers in the world ! I actually thought she was Svetlana Zakharova to begin with and I'm not sure I can pay her a greater compliment than that ! Congratulations to EVERYONE and we can't wait for you to be back in Newcastle once the theatres open again !

Can unity imagine what that meant at age 10?!! Magic! They were extending their stay in the USA! They left that night to go to another little city or perhaps Boston?!

He was also aided by Nadezhda von Meck, the widow of a railway magnate, who had begun contact with him not long before the marriage. As well as an important friend and emotional support, she became his patroness for the next 13 years, which allowed him to focus exclusively on composition. While Tchaikovsky called her his "best friend" they agreed to never meet under any circumstances.

[@RichardJosephSeymourMrSeymour]

Tchaikovsky's training set him on a path to reconcile what he had learned with the native musical practices to which he had been exposed from childhood. From that reconciliation, he forged a personal but unmistakably Russian style. The principles that governed melody, harmony and other fundamentals of Russian music ran completely counter to those that governed Western European music, which seemed to defeat the potential for using Russian music in large-scale Western composition or for forming a composite style, and it caused personal antipathies that dented Tchaikovsky's self-confidence. Russian culture exhibited a split personality, with its native and adopted elements having drifted apart increasingly since the time of Peter the Great. That resulted in uncertainty among the intelligentsia about the country's national identity, an ambiguity mirrored in Tchaikovsky's career.

[@nowar458]
