The plot is: Princess Aogueta is turned into a white swan by the devil in Swan Lake. Prince Siegfried visited Swan Lake and fell in love with Aogueta. On the night when the prince chose the bride, the devil made his daughter, Black Swan, pretend to be ogita to cheat the prince. The prince was almost deceived, and finally found out in time that he attacked the devil and killed him.

Finally, turning to the theme of the ode, the prince appeared, ending with the victory of love over death and the victory over the devil

The music of Swan Lake is like a romantic lyric poem. The music of each scene has completed the description of the scene with a profound symphony, promoted the contradiction of the drama, and portrayed the character and mind. These ballet music, which is full of poetic and dramatic power and has the principle of highly symphonic development, is the result of the author's major reform of ballet music, thus becoming an epoch-making work in the history of ballet development. Many of them are masterpieces that will last forever. Only a few famous ones can be selected here to introduce them.

At the beginning of the prelude to the dance drama, the oboe plays a soft tune, which leads to the clues of the story. This is a variation of the swan theme, which outlines the moving and sad picture of a girl who has been turned into a swan by witchcraft (fragment 1). The most familiar part of the whole song is the music at the end of the first act. This scene is a grand ball to celebrate the prince's adult ceremony. Music is mainly composed of all kinds of gorgeous, clear and passionate dance music. At the end of the first act, a flock of swans appeared in the night sky, which is the first time that the theme of swans appeared in music. It is full of tender beauty and sadness, played by oboe and string in turn with the vibrato of harp and violin (fragment 2). Hungarian dance is a Hungarian folk dance of Childash. The first half of the music soothes the sadness, such as the preparation before dancing (paragraph 3), and the second half has a strong sense of rhythm, which shows the rudeness of the dancers. It is a fanatical dance music (paragraph 4). Spanish Dance Music is full of Spanish national flavor, accompanied by Spanish castanets, which emphasizes the national characteristics of music. The first half of the music is full of enthusiasm and passion (paragraph 5), and the second half is full of songs and melodies (paragraph 6). "Neapolitan Dance" is a very famous Italian style dance. The whole dance is mainly played on the trumpet, with lively music, smooth first half, faster and faster rhythm and warmer atmosphere in the second half. This is a Tarantella folk dance (paragraph 7). Dance of Four Little Swan is also one of the most popular dances in this dance drama. The music is relaxed and lively, and the rhythm is clean and neat. It depicts the scene of cygnet swimming by the lake, which is simple and touching and full of pastoral poetry (segment 8).
