Swan Lake is the first ballet composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky from 1875-1877, regarded by ballet audiences and music lovers worldwide as the greatest and rightfully the most popular and most frequently performed classical-romantic fairy-tale ballet in the international ballet repertoire. As the famous ballerina Galina Ulanova noted: "the most beautiful ballet one can imagine".

The worldwide success of Swan Lake rests not only on Tchaikovsky's catchy and compelling music, but also on the now world-famous choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov from the St. Petersburg model production of 1895. The dance ensemble "Usti", winner of multiple prestigious awards, is now known throughout Europe and is regarded as a training ground for young, talented artists. The ensemble remains faithful to classical ballet tradition while creating its own unique version of the classic. The high art of dance, woven into a romantic love story, creates a fairy tale for the whole family and transports the viewer into a world of dreams and reality.
