From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of notable major productions of the ballet
Swan Lake . Throughout the long and complex performance history of Swan Lake ,
the 1895 edition of
Marius Petipa ,
Lev Ivanov , and
Riccardo Drigo has served as the definitive version on which nearly every staging has been based, having been mounted by many noted ballet masters and choreographers from the late 19th century until the present day.
