Post Gazette: For all of its origins in Russian myth more than a century ago, "Swan Lake" has never seemed more relevant than in today's politically charged world, where the struggle between good and evil is often translated into black and white.
It's all told in the highly popular tale of broken promises, manipulation and disguise, but the strength of "Swan Lake" takes it to a personal level, where the heroine Odette struggles to overcome a ruthless sorcerer and cause of her Swan Queen predicament, Von Rothbart. She engages a wayward Prince Siegfried to aid her cause, setting up a dysfunctional love triangle of epic proportions.
