If there is such a question: which word is most often associated with "ballet"?
The answer is undoubtedly "swan". Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake has been around for more than a hundred years since its birth, and it has almost become synonymous with the art of ballet on the tip of its feet.
What you may not know, however, is that without the Mariinsky Theatre, this masterpiece of ballet, which is considered a ballet classic by today, would probably have been lost long ago.
Swan Lake (Russian: Лебединое Озеро) was originally a ballet performed by Tchaikovsky for the Moscow Imperial Opera House from 1875 to 1876. It was premiered at the Bolshoi Theater on 20 February 1877, after which the composer adapted the original into a concert-played Suite of Swan Lake, published in November 1900. Swan Lake is the most famous ballet in the world and a reserved repertoire of all classical ballets.
The premiere of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in Moscow in 1877 was unsuccessful, and it was not followed for nearly two decades. It was not until 1895, when the ballet master Petipa rearranged and staged Tchaikovsky's masterpiece at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, that Swan Lake became a blockbuster, regained its life, and became the pinnacle of classical ballet in the West. Mariinsky thus became synonymous with the most classic version of Swan Lake.

On the eve of his birthday, Prince Siegfried (Зигфрид) tells him that the adult Siegfried is going to choose a bride the next day. And in the evening, the prince went to Swan Lake to hunt swans.
In the second act, Siegfried meets princess Ojeta (Одаотбарт), who is a swan during the day and a maiden at night, and Siegfried invites her to a ball the next night and expresses to her mother that she is willing to marry Ojeta.
In Act III, princesses and envoys from various countries come to Siegfried's birthday party. Rottbart also came with his daughter Agios Одилия). Agios Giogelia shows the image of Ojeta, dressed in black. Siegfried was seduced and entered into a marriage contract with her. When Siegfried realized all this, he was shocked and immediately rushed to Swan Lake.
Act IV The Prince asks for Ojeta's forgiveness, and Ojeta forgives him. At this time, Rottbart used magic to roll up a big wave to drown Siegfried. Ojeta jumped into the lake to save him. Depending on the director's arrangement, the ending is different: either both die to form a tragic ending, or the swan returns to human form, the prince saves the princess, and love finally triumphs over evil. Chinese ballet companies often use this type of ending.
