Promo 🎉 Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake DVD – Michael Pasternak, Agnès Letestu 🛒

Agnes Letestu, a feminine and warm Odette, Jose Martinez, a convincing, pale vulnerable Prince Siegfried, and Karl Paguette, doubling as a dutiful Wolfgang and an equally devious Rothbart, are the stars of this deeply passionate, ‘dream’ version of Swan Lake, Rudolf Nureyev’s interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s lyrical ballet, far from being a cliched stereotype of this celebrated masterpiece, is an expose of astonishingly powerful and recognisable human emotions. Under the inspired and clear-cut musical direction of Vello Pahn, this production of one of the jewels of the Paris Opera Ballet’s repertoire brilliantly displays the meticulous precision, technical prowess and pure, unmanbnered style of the company’s unrivalled female corps de ballet, eliciting an ethereal, intense beauty, captured for DVD in High Definition video and superb surround sound.
