Swan Lake Op. 20, is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular of all ballets. The scenario, initially in two acts, was fashioned from Russian and/or German folk tales and tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse.
