The music piece of the dying swan of about 3 minute and half, was originally part of the French composer Camille Saint-Saens’ music suite The Carnival of the Aanimals, and was called Swan (le cygne). In 1905, Anna Pavlova asked Mikhai Fokine to create a short ballet solo for her, and called it The dying swan after the poem of same name by Lord Alfred Tennyson.
Since her premier performance at a gala in the Noblemen's Hall, St. Petersburg, Russia, on Friday, 22 December 1905, Anna Pavlova has performed this solo over 4000 Times, and it became her signature dance, and the title The dying swan is forever associated with this dance solo. |
