Barbie Swan Lake First in a Series of Musical Ballerina Dolls 1991 Mattel 1648

Once long ago, a prince named Siegfried was hunting near a lake, and saw a magical white swan turn into the most beautiful woman in the world. She told him her name was Odette and that she was under the spell of an evil sorcerer. She must remain a Swan Queen, except between midnight and dawn- unless a man loved and married her and never loved another. The prince swore his eternal love and asked her to come to the royal ball where he would choose her as his wife. At the ball, the sorcerer made his evil daughter look just like Odette and tricked the prince into loving another. In the end, however, the sorcerer's power was destroyed by Odette's and Siegfried's triumphant love.

If ever a ballet has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences and performers alike, it is Swan Lake. Although a flop when first presented in Moscow in 1877, Swan Lake was a huge success in 1895 when it was re-presented with new choreography and scenery. Since then, it has become the most popular ballet in the world. The greatest ballerinas have vied for the privilege of dancing this ballet. Swan Lake is in the repertoire of most ballet companies. The magic of the ballet lies in the music of Tchaikovsky and in the romantic story of an enchanted heroine, who is swan, queen, and a girl in love.

Now the classic comes to life. First in a collection of Barbie musical ballerina dolls, Swan Lake Barbie captures all the magic of the fanciful heroine. From her delicate feathered headdress and elaborate twisted hairdo to her white toe shoes and sparkly tights, she is the Swan Queen. Her graceful arms and hands are specially sculpted like a ballerina's. Her costume is a fantasy of frills, shimmering with beads and iridescent glitter. The bodice extends in back to give the illusion of wings.

Wind the music box and see her turn as the Swan Lake music plays. She is truly the enchanted heroine- a swan about to take flight.
