Only at night can the unfortunate girls resume their human form and only a promise of eternal love can break the spell that afflicts them. One night, in the moonlight, Prince Sigfried sees Odette near a lake, falls madly in love with her and begs her to attend the ball that the prince's mother has organized for his birthday, a ball where Sigfried will choose his bride.
The lighting design is by Paolo Palitta, the stagecraft and sound are by Michele Grandi. The voice of the lake is by Chiara Conconi. The costumes are by Luisella Conti and Roberta Amadu for Progetto Palco. The masks were made by Andrea Gennati.
