The ballet Swan Lake performed by the Saint-Michel Ballet Theatre of St. Petersburg invites viewers to a world of magic and drama on the stage of the Hermitage Theatre. This classic work, enriched with modern video effects, brings to life the legend of the girls turned into swans by the wizard Rothbart.
