Swan Lake
From the timeless classic ballet of Tchaikovsky, this beautifully die-cut textured paper brings the story to life in a magical way. A prince dreams of love. But his parents, impatient for him to marry, decide to organize a ball. They tell him he must choose his future wife at the party. The young man flees to the woods. He sees swans flying between the trees and follows them to the edge of the lake.
