Introduction to "Swan Lake"

First act

The old king died, and Prince Siegfried would soon inherit the throne, so a big wedding must be held. The prince was afraid of losing his freedom, and he was even more unwilling to marry someone who was not his love. On the occasion of his 21st birthday, the prince and his friends gathered in the courtyard of the castle. The servant Benno arranged a birthday party and tried his best to make the prince happy. Unexpectedly, the queen arrived suddenly, and she was greatly surprised by the noisy banquet, and reminded the prince that the palace was still in the period of national mourning. The queen left after speaking, leaving behind a frustrated Siegfried. Banno asked the two courtesans to dance to please the prince. When the dance was happy, Banno also danced enthusiastically to toast the future king. At the end of the dance, a group of swans flew over the prince's head in pairs. Benno suggested that the prince try the new crossbow. They hunted and chased the swans in the direction they flew.

Second act

The prince and Benno came to the lake, and the prince sent Benno to look for swans. Left alone, he caught the attention of Demon Lord Rothbart.
Suddenly a swan approached, and the prince was amazed to see that a dignified and noble swan gradually turned into a delicate and beautiful girl. The beautiful girl told the handsome prince about her tragic life experience. It turned out that she was a princess named Odette. The evil demon king turned her and her companions into swans, and they could only return to human form in the middle of the night. Only steadfast love can break the evil magic. The prince firmly believed that the princess was his sweetheart. 

Third act

Beauties from all over the world who are waiting for the queen gather in the ballroom of the castle, and the prince must choose a fiancée from among them. The princesses performed dances to please the prince, but the prince's thoughts were not on them and he refused to make a choice. A loud trumpet sounded, announcing the arrival of two uninvited guests. They are the envoys of the Demon King Rothbart in disguise and his daughter Odileia. Rothbart transforms Odile into Odette, and the prince is so captivated by an unknown visitor who appears to be Odette that he's convinced it's his swan princess on the dance floor

While the prince was dancing with Odile, Odette appeared at the window, and she begged the prince to remember the oath to her, but at this time the prince had been distracted by the spell of the devil. At the request of the devil, the prince raised his hand and swore a love oath to Odile——the devil's plot succeeded, and Odette cried and left in despair. Suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and the ballroom was in chaos. The prince woke up desperately, but it was too late, and he had promised others the oath of love again. The deceived prince rushes out to find the real Odette.

Act four

The sad Odette returned to Swan Lake and was heartbroken. The devil created a blizzard to prevent the prince from looking for Odette.
The prince eventually found Odette. However, neither infinite true feelings nor endless remorse can change the consequences of breaking the contract, the spell can no longer be broken, and the prince and princess will be separated. The devil showed a ferocious face, and turned the princess and the girls into swans and floated on the lake. The sad and angry prince and princess embraced each other, and with the belief that they could not love or would rather die, they both jumped into the raging waves flooding the lake. A miracle appeared in an instant, justice defeated evil, faithful love defeated all evil monsters, the magic was shattered, the magic cave collapsed, the lake ebbed, and the swan girls were reborn.
