Svanesøen (russisk: Лебединое озеро/Lebedinoye ozero), Op. 20, består en ballet af Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky i 1875-76. Scenariet, i første omgang i to akter, var formet fra russiske folkeeventyr[en] og fortæller historien om Odette, en prinsesse forvandlet til en svane af et onde troldmand ’ s forbandelse. Koreograf af den oprindelige produktion var Julius Reisinger. The ballet was premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet on 4 Marts [O.S. 20 Februar] 1877[1][2] at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Although it is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the 1895 revival of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, first staged for the Imperial Ballet on 15 Januar 1895, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersborg. For this revival, Tjajkovskij ’ s score blev revideret af St. Petersborg Imperial Theatre ’ s ledende dirigent og komponist Riccardo Drigo.
