The most fun thing we have to do in the evening is to watch a world-famous ballet, Swan Lake. Although I have seen this dance drama six times, it does not affect my expectations.

Many ballet and opera works have been recognized and praised by many countries in the world, and their reputation has long been known around the world. Watching a three-hour show in Kiev will definitely make you unforgettable.
"Swan Lake" was created by the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky in 1876. After nearly 150 years, it still has a strong charm. After the times, it is still irreplaceable.
"Swan Lake", 4th, Kiev Ballet is the most complete version, this performance plus two intermissions is always three hours. When you are resting, you can buy a glass of wine and taste it.
This is the first dance by Tchaikovsky. It is based on folklore. The story is: Princess Ojta was turned into a white swan by the demon on the Swan Lake. Prince Ziegfried travels to Swan Lake and is deeply in love with Ojta. The prince chose the bride's night, and the demon made his daughter, the black swan, disguised as Ojta to deceive the prince. The prince was almost deceived and eventually found out in time to fight the devil and cull. The white swan restores the original shape of the princess and combines with the prince to complete the ending.
