On Saturday, December 25, in the “Megasport” complex in Moscow, the ice ballet “Swan Lake” by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, directed by Olympic champion Tatiana Navka, was launched.
The adaptation of Tchakovsky’s ballet on ice was Tatiana Navka’s long-held wish.
The ballet was first supposed to be held last year, but the spread of the Corona virus epidemic forced its organizers to postpone it until this December.
The ballet director, Tatiana Navka, said that “my main task is to make” Swan Lake, different from previous ice plays I directed, such as “Ruslan and Lyudmila”, “Sleeping Belle”, “Red Flower”. Navka has already succeeded in achieving this goal by making the ballerina fly under the dome of the sports complex, for the first time in the history of ice shows.
Tatiana Navka also performed the role of Princess (Odita) in the ballet, with 7-year-old Nadezhda as her daughter and daughter of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Seriously ill Tatiana Trotsenko, 13, from the Stavropol region in southern Russia, became a special guest in the play after Russian President Vladimir Putin gave her a ballet ticket, in addition to a trump card she won in the “Wishing Tree” event for New Year’s Day.
Also participating in the ballet were the stars of the Russian musical theater, Philip Korkorov, Ani Lorak, Nikolai Baskov and others, who performed the musical roles of the characters of the ballet on ice.
