Gillian Murphy and Angel Corella dance with complete technical perfection in their roles as Odette/Odile and Prince Siegfried. More importantly, they act as well as they dance. That's often missing in ballet today, as technique is now worshiped at the expense of making an audience feel that the roles they are playing are of real people. Frankly, I have not seen anyone dance this ballet so well since I saw Fonteyn and Nureyev dance Swan Lake live in the 1960s. Young dancers can learn a lot watching this performance about the subtleties that make ballet a great art form.Murphy's Odette is beautiful, delicate, and heartbreakingly tragic. She dances with an almost unearthly grace and fluidity. Corella's Siegfried is strong and sensitive, with absolutely fantastic turns, leaps, and awe inspiring lifts. His dancing is lyrical and passionate, a tough combination to pull off. He is very intense in his acting. You really believe they love each other, and would die for that love. The expressions on both their faces are amazing, and something you don't see very often in today's ballet dancers. Their technique is flawless, and I especially like the fact that Murphy doesn't hyper-extend herself. Instead, she takes great care to always display an exquisite line for her Odette. She puts the role of the Swan Queen before herself, rather than egotistically show boating her flexibility like so many ballerinas do. Her Odile is fabulous, wickedly beautiful with virtuoso pirouettes. Marcelo Gomes is the best Von Rothbart I have ever seen. He is an outstanding dancer, exhibiting a degree of control and beauty of line in slow passages that is remarkable. His acting is also superb. He is magnificent in the role, displaying a seductive evil that I have never seen before on stage.Some reviewers have criticized the last Act as being too short, and I agree. However, I liked the additions to the prologue, and the larger part given to Von Rothbart. The sets and costumes were excellent. This production of Swan Lake is a little unconventional, but I liked it very much. The only thing that is bad about this DVD is the insertion of a narrator and interviews between the Acts. That would have been better shown as separate features. But, one can always fast forward through those parts. Overall, this DVD should be in everyone's ballet collection because the dancing is just so unbelievably good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Info for the Prospective Buyer *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021* I am very pleased with this offering of "Swan Lake." The effort the performers make at telling the story is commendable. For example, Rothbart sways his arms and the enchanted swans obey and begin to circle about. The audio is bright and dramatic. This was by far my favorite performance that I could find on the internet. Now, one feature on the Amazon offering for this DVD purchase made me hesitant to buy it. I took a chance and bought it anyway and learned that this Amazon feature was mistaken or misleading. So, I wanted to warn other prospective buyers. Here is the problem with the Amazon's presentation. They offer a clip of the performance for the buyer's review. Alas, though, this clip is NOT from the DVD they are selling! It may be another performance by the principal Gillian Murphy with the American Ballet Theatre, but it is not the one that is offered for purchase. Siegfried and Rothbart and different people. However, on YouTube there is a proper 10-minute video of four clips from the performance being sold by Amazon. Search for "Swan Lake Little Swans." Then pick the video offered by "keef1212" with 5.1 million views. It was posted 10 years ago. These four clips sold me on the performance I that wanted and it is indeed the very performance sold here on Amazon! I hope this helps the prospective customer. I am a very satisfied with my purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024* I am in total amazement of how wonderful this ballet is. I have watched it over and over. The music, the precision. I’ve never seen anything like it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1719953-tchaikovsky-swan-lake-american-ballet-theatre-murphy-corella](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1719953-tchaikovsky-swan-lake-american-ballet-theatre-murphy-corella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
