Tonight’s the night. One of the most anticipated of La Scala’s season. The debut of Alexei Ratmansky’s reconstruction of Petipa and Ivanov’s Swan Lake.
The production is a co-production with Zurich where in February it received rave reviews, to anticipation is running high.
Below are some shots from the dress rehearsal with tonight’s cast — Odette/Odile is Nicoletta Manni, Siegfried is Timofej Andrijashenko and Mick Zeni will interpret Rothbart — and an interview with Ratmansky.

Which music will be used for the Odile/Prince pdd? Will it be the traditional or the one that Balanchine used for “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux”?
What I wouldn’t do to be there- if you are there, have a sip of wine for me!!
