critique*****;
"Nureyev's choreography makes huge demands on the dancers...[the title role] of the swan Odetta/Odilia was performed by the principal soloist of the Slovak National Theatre Ballet, Tatum Shoptaugh;
her Odetta and Odilia were authentic; as Odette, tender and vulnerable, and as Odile she was confident and motivated" [V. Polakovicova, 2023 Sme]
"The male and female dancers constantly move at the limit of what is possible and arouse great admiration. In the new Bratislava form, they shined at a level that testifies to their good condition" [Polakovicova]
