The Lake section of this ballet is so fabulous. Thank you for this. But is there a lighter version available?

is there a lighter version of this

It's when one sees great great dancers and performances such as this that one laments all the more modern atrocities such as Alina Somova.

One would suggest the tedious Somova acolytes who laud her truly dreadful performances on Youtube clips watch your phenomenal selection of clips and gems from ballet's history, but I fear like the disciples with the newly arisen Christ they would see with their eyes yet not believe.

Very good ballet. A bit dark though !

Thank you very much all the same.

@arunah11 Its meant to be dark- gives the affect of a river in the night
