Manuel Legris, who was hailed as a “Grand Étoile” at the Paris Opera, was invited to serve as its first artistic director.\n\nThis recording, captured in March 2014 at the Vienna State Opera, features “Swan Lake,” one of Tchaikovsky’s three great ballets. The classic “The Nutcracker” is also available from C-major. Featuring world-class dancers, the masterful and meticulously crafted staging by the genius Rudolf Nureyev, and beautiful costumes and sets, this recording is a truly compelling performance that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation.\n\nRudolf Nureyev, who served as choreographer, based his work on the libretto from the 1877 premiere, creating his own unique choreography and direction—a structure that differs from the Petit-Ivanov version commonly seen today. Nureyev’s version constructs the story from the prince’s perspective, culminating in the tragic fate of Siegfried drowning alone. Nureyev’s version premiered at the Vienna State Opera in 1964, making 2014 the 50th anniversary of its premiere.\n\nOlga Esina, who could be described as the current face of the Vienna State Ballet, dances the role of Odette. Vladimir Shishov, who also stars in *The Nutcracker*, plays Siegfried. Both are graduates of the prestigious Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia, which has produced numerous renowned dancers. The dancing of this beautiful and striking pair captivates the audience with movements meticulously considered down to the very tips of their fingers and toes, and an overflowing expressiveness.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C Major","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595607433505,"sku":"814337011765","price":6790.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/814337011765.jpg?v=1790481898","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/814337011765","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
