State Ballet of Georgia's 'Swan Lake' Debuts in London
The company's first London performance blends traditional choreography with mixed execution.
- Nina Ananiashvili directs the production, drawing on her Bolshoi roots.
- Nino Samadashvili's portrayal of Odette-Odile is praised for its emotional depth.
- Oleg Ligai's Prince Siegfried is noted for his technical skill but lacks instinctive movement.
- The English National Opera Orchestra, led by Papuna Gvaberidze, delivers a compelling score.
- Mixed reviews highlight both the production's charm and its occasional lack of intensity.
