Like the earlier work of The Sleeping Beauty, first produced in 1890, Swan Lake remains at the forefront of classical ballet sharing as it does a common composer and choreographer, in Tchaikovsky and Petipa, in its original production. Again, as in his first production of The Sleeping Beauty, Nureyev commissioned Nicholas Georgiadis to execute the stage and costume designs of his own production that was premiered in 1964.
