About this item
"Superbly dark, gloriously twisted and utterly seductive - this is Erin Kelly at her mind-bending best" "Her plots are the smartest in the industry, but with this one she somehow captured the intense, constrained, sinister world of ballet. I absolutely loved it" "Watch Her Fall is not only a cleverly plotted, beautifully written thriller; it is also a mesmerizing glimpse behind the curtain into a world few of us will ever see" Swan Lake is divided into the black acts and the white acts. The Prince is on stage for most of the ballet, but it's the swans audiences flock to see. In early productions, Odette and Odile were performed by two different dancers. These days, it is usual for the same dancer to play both roles. Because of the faultless ballet technique required to master the steps, and the emotional range needed to perform both the virginal Odette and the dark, seductive Odile, this challenging dual role is one of the most coveted in all ballet.
