Oregon Ballet Theatre

Swan Lake has always tested its female leads with the dual role of Odette/Odile, which calls for a sudden but seamless shift in dynamics. As it happens, Swan Lake is the first work Oregon Ballet Theatre will stage since former artistic director Christopher Stowell left in December; the ballet bears his imprint (Stowell fashioned it after the 1895 Petipa/Ivanov original). But it will be overseen by former principal dancer Anne Mueller, who has been named interim artistic director of the company. We know the ballet is about good and evil, love and betrayal, with plenty of drama along the way: What we don’t know just yet is how, in this installment, it will end.
