Swan Lake Blu-ray (The Royal Ballet) 2015This magnificent Royal Ballet production of Swan Lake is an unforgettable experience. Anthony Dowells interpretation of Petipa and Ivanovs 1895 St Petersburg version set a standard and style that made it a yardstick for others (New York Times). The choreography is a challenge relished by principal ballerinas, and is danced here in a spellbinding performance by Natalia Osipova, partnered by Matthew Golding as a powerful and empathetic Prince Siegfried.
