Recorded in 2009, so you'll want to see how she danced Swan Lake when she was younger, right? Especially in this work, you can enjoy the gorgeous and beautiful stage that is unique to the Royal. It's particularly good among recent Royal Swan Lakes. The Dowell version of "Swan Lake" faithful to the original. A masterpiece with the best cast of today, both in the leading and supporting roles! Dowell faithfully restored the original version of Petipa/Ivanov's choreography of "Swan Lake". Dancing Odette/Odile is Marianela Nuñez, who has excellent technique and musicality and exudes a strong positive aura. Soares, with his deep expression of sorrow and gentlemanly demeanor, plays the role of the prince admirably. In addition to the Royal's deep and delicate theatrical expression and the best supporting cast of today, the luxurious and decadent set is also impressive.
