I'm just listening to part of the music, it was used a lot in the old Dracula and Frankenstein movies. Oh wait I just watched part of this clip and I came to this conclusion the "swans" are pretty but any guy that dresses like this has to be a few degrees/bubbles off plumb.

Wasn't there a different ending with Rothbart defeated & Odette living happily ever after with the prince? How many endings to this ballet are there?
-
Amazing. would love to see this in person
-
OH I Love American Ballet Theatre and Gillian Murphy (Odette-Odile) and Angel Corella (Prince Siegfried)
And the music of Tchaikovsky
-
Fantastic ending!
-
music from 2:09 onwards gives me goosebumps....
-
Tchaikovsky was the master of passion, makes this fat old bloke wwep every time! yes, shame about the jump but only god (and apparently Mozart) perfect.

how does Odette and Sigfried killing themselves also kill Rothbart?
-
that end gives me goosebumps!<3 it's so beautiful that I get tears in my eyes:P
There is another ending. In it, Odette just plucks out a feather, and leaves the poor Prince holding it while she returns to being Queen of the Swans. I don't like that one, because in a way, von Rothbart has won!

Oh yeah. Von Rothbart was a Sorcerer. (Male equivalent of a Witch.)

OK. The "Green Guy" is the villain, Von Rothbart. He is the one who turned these girls into swans in the first place. He had a special liking for Odette, and made her Queen of the Swans. The Prince, Siegfried, met the swan Odette while he was on a solitary hunting party. Odile was Odette with a spell put on her. She was evil as Odile, and Von Rothbart hoped that the Prince would forget her, because she was HIS! Didn't work. The Prince jumped too, for Love. VR died for love of Odette as well.

I could try to explain the whole thing to you, but I have a better idea. Go to Wikipedia and search for "Swan Lake." They likely have a much better description than I could do.

True. Tchai was the master of passion.
Mozart was the master of beauty!
