Strength, grace, and more than a touch of melancholy 👑 Prince Siegfried's spellbinding solo from Swan Lake showcases his strength, grace, and the emotional turmoil he faces as he navigates love, duty, and the supernatural. A young man yearning for true love, Siegfried encounters Odette, a woman cursed by the evil Von Rothbart to be a swan. He vows to break the curse, but is tricked into betraying her, leading to tragic consequences. 🎥 Vadim Muntagirov | Royal Ballet And Opera
