Note
At some time in the mid-1920s (1927?), Balanchine made minor alterations in Diaghilev’s one-act Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky, choreographed by Ivanov and Petipa), deleting part of the Swan Queen’s mime and rearranging ensemble movements for a decreased corps de ballet. Olga Spessivtseva was probably the first ballerina to dance the Swan Queen in this revised version.
Balanchine, Alicia Markova.
