He can take on his Crown Prince responsibilities, including marrying a suitable princess who he will love. (I recorded this on Christmas Day but haven't watched it yet - I hope to do so soon!). I can’t for one moment think Scarlett would radically change his ending but I’d suggest that Scarlett does give us an alternative ending which is profoundly moving if in a different way. The ballet won widespread acclaim on its premiere, particularly for the central performance of Lynn Seymour in the anguished title role. As well as the two Pas de Trois Benno plays an important role as Siegfried’s friend and moves the action on, explaining the narrative etc. As regards the ending, a number of posters very strongly express their views that they prefer Siegfried and Odette to be united in love beyond death. Bach's The Art of Fugue often explore the intricacies of its structure, and some even suggest that the work was influenced by the Pythagorean theory of numbers -- in particular the pyramidal shape of the tetractys.

Now this is a depressing ending.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDbMK91BJ_E, Jeepers!! I also wondered about the expense of all those black swan tutus for thirty seconds in Act 3 - I quite liked the addition of the black swans to Act 4 in the old production because it showed how things had changed after the events of Act 3. The first two major criticisms are interrelated as Benno certainly is much more prominent than Siegfried in Act 1 but I thought it might be easier to say something about each in turn. I do agree with most of what you say, and I agree that Scarlett's Swan Lake is a theatrical tour de force and very moving. Having watched the broadcast, I'd like to add in some points about the ending. Ah yes. Swan Lakes are deeply personal to ballet fans, but audiences lucky enough to catch this one will surely say "I was there" for years to come. The Scarlett version is to have Odette's  sacrifice destroying Rothbart's power and leaving Siegfried alive but cradling the lifeless body of the Princess. Von Rothbart is defeated, the swans are returned to human form. So for me it's a bleak ending on which we have to impose a more positive spin (if we wish to do so). He created two preceding acts to the Berlin act, using music by Tchaikovsky to explore Anna’s ‘memory’ of events in the Imperial family leading up to the Russian Revolution – providing a powerful context for the disturbed Anna’s nightmares of the final act.

However, while it is fascinating to explore these links, McGregor is keen that the audience 'see the oneness' of his new ballet. But I don't deny that it is very moving. I think the wider angled view for longer would be more preferable. There's no indication (as you say) that he sees her spirit, or that he will ever find consolation. Is she effectively just saying goodbye, as you suggest? Wonderful energy & precision from the corps. Scene (Swan Theme) London Philharmonic Orchestra / Yuri Simonov I’d welcome the ending to be less rushed and one or two nuances to be made explicit. Sign up for a new account in our community. Swan Lake runs at the Royal … Subscribe to our channel to receive notifications about new ballet … But in Swan Lake the music to me is life affirming, triumphal, good overcoming evil. No I am not suggesting the apparition is her saying goodbye, or that it is her spirit, but rather postulating that the vision is just showing the ending of the swan-queen curse. Hmm. I very much admire Liam Scarlett’s narrative grip in Swan Lake (but then I like a great deal of Frankenstein and Sweet Violets). I really liked it, particularly the attempts to give context to the national dances in Act 3 - looked as though some thought had gone into the storyline, although I'm still not sure about the ending, with Siegfried surviving.

As regards more positive endings, I thought for a time in the Soviet Union there was almost a requirement for Odette and Siegfried to defeat Von Rothbart and ‘live happily ever after’. I’m delighted the cinema cast was so strong and it’s great that this cast has been recorded for posterity. Does the music allow for such an interpretation? There’d be too many changes of pace and dynamic, too much stop/start. There's no indication (as you say) that he sees her spirit, or that he will ever find consolation. Seriously, though, I have never liked any production that doesn't show Odette  and Siegfried united in some way at the end. The spirit of Odette on the rock should be the uncursed, long dressed version, the dead body should be the one in the tutu and swan headgear. 19:06. Directed by Ross MacGibbon. Swan Lake as the triumph of evil over good. The full ballet, first performed in 1971, was a declaration of intent: it showcased MacMillan’s dual influences, of classical, Royal Ballet tradition in the first two acts, and of German expressionism – a style then entirely new to British audiences – in the final.
