This production, with designs by the late Leslie Hurry, stars Natalia Makarova as Odette/Odile and Anthony Dowell as Prince Siegfried. Prince Siegfried celebrates his 21st birthday; his mother tells him it is time to marry, but he prefers to go hunting. Alone by a lakeside, he sees a swan who turns into human form. She is an enchanted princess who can be saved only by true love. He promises this, but is tricked by the wicked magician who disguises his own daughter as the swan-maiden. In despair, Siegfried and the swan-maiden leap to death together and their sacrifice destroys the evil power.
