The perfidious Rothbart, a half-human, half-animal wizard, obsessed with Prince Siegfried, will use one of his beautiful enchanted swans as bait for the young man's doom. Love flowers between Siegfried and Odette, who, under the sorcerer's spell, is transformed into a swan. The transformation of a human being into an animal is the representation of a prophetic object of love and seductive illusion. With the threat of imminent death, love will conquer evil.
A classic of all classics and with an aesthetic ideal that continues to enchant audiences hungry for beauty in the digital age.
No hi trobareu senyal, però passeu: endins del marbre esperarà la rosa, i hi florirà d’amor perquè ho noteu sense aixecar la llosa.
