Odette

Odette is a well-known ballet character from the classic story "Swan Lake," composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. She is a princess transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer and represents themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. The ballet tells the story of Odette’s struggle for freedom and her tragic love for Prince Siegfried, who must choose between her and another woman, Odile, who disguises herself as Odette. The duality of her character, embodying both grace and sorrow, has made Odette a symbol of tragic beauty in the performing arts.
