Forte Arena is ready to tell you the romantic story between Siegfried and Odette that start one night when the Prince, chasing a group of swans – meet the Princess, who explains that she and her companions were turned into swans by the evil Baron Von Rothbart. The spell can only be broken if someone who has never loved before swears an oath of undying love and promises to marry her. The Prince declares his love to Odette and promises to be loyal forever. At a grand reception at the palace, the Prince must choose a bride – but he can think only of Odette. Suddenly a fanfare announces the arrival of two guests – it is Odette! The prince dances with her and asks for her hand in marriage. But it’s not Odette – the mystery woman is the daughter of the evil von Rothbart, Odile. Odette has witnessed the whole scene. Too late, Siegfried realises his mistake and follows Odette to the lake and begs her forgiveness. Confusion, forgiveness and a happy ending for Siegfried and Odette accomplish the ballet.
