A spectacular performance of Swan Lake

Swan Lake is my favorite ballet. I have seen it performed by several companies over the years, and all were great performances. However, the best performance that I have seen was the one by the American Ballet Theatre with Skylar Brandt as Odette and Odile and Herman Cornejo as Prince Siegfried. The performance was spellbinding from start to finish. Skylar was incredible: elegant, graceful, expressive, athletic, and incredibly flexible. The swans gathered at the lake were also amazing; it was as if you were watching humanized swans. It does not matter how many times you have seen performances of Swan Lake; if you have chance to see it performed by the American Ballet Theatre, then don’t miss out.
