Swan Lake - Tutu, photography by VIVA Anderson.
ODILE - The Black Swan , ......
Swan Lake, the Ballet, tells the story of young Prince Siegfried who falls in love with Princess Odette. Odette and her companions are transformed into swans under the spell cast by evil sorcerer Baron von Rothbart.
Odile is the black swan maiden and the secondary antagonist in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Her opposite is Odette, the white swan maiden, who is the heroine of the ballet while Odile is the antagonist.
Prince Siegfried stumbles upon Odette by the lake, and they fall in love. But then at Siegfried's 21st birthday in the palace, Odile turns up as Odette's evil twin, the Black Swan, Odile, and seduces Siegfried into forgetting about Odette.
My image is a photograph of Odile's costume, kept and refurbished,
and the Australian Ballet again Performed Swan Lake in the U.K. Celebration
to honour Australia's first Performance in London, 60 years ago!!!. A Grand
occasion, that brought together world- famous dancers and balletomanes from
all over the world. A truly Grand Occasion.
