  I’ve been obsessed with Swan Lake for the past two years. Your summation of why it’s so beautiful is spot on; especially in contextualizing it in light of P.T.’s homosexuality.

  We just saw the Nutcracker Ballet this last weekend &amp; I’m once again captured by Tchaikovsky’s music. Thank you Dad for teaching me to love all kinds of music❗️It may be your greatest gift to me.

  Thank you for this. This was beautiful. I&apos;m not a ballet-fan but this is not just about ballet, it&apos;s a historical piece.

  Ricardo Drigo reworked the Swan Lake&apos; music after Tchaikovcky&apos;s death. So it is actually Tchaikovsky/Drigo. Although Drigo is rarely mentioned.
