Time for Ballet-The Swan Lake



I hope you like Ballet. If you do the following video of the Kirov Ballet will certainly tickle your fancy. If you are a ballet enthusiast, there is a new TV reality show called the Breaking Point at Hulu Internet site. It chronicled the ins and outs of the life of six ballet dancers for six weeks at the West Ballet Company, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.



In this production of the best loved classical ballet 'Swan Lake' the naturally gifted Yulia Makhalina dances the challenging role of Odette/Odile while the part of Prince Siegfried is danced by Igor Zelensky. This classic Kirov production includes the familiar happy ending in the final act where Siegfried fights and ultimately defeats the evil magician von Rothbart and at dawn is reunited with Odette.
