I had a look on the www and Swan Lake features among the top 5 in most cases, now I am not a ballet lover and can only go on what I read but it does seem to be very popular so it must have something going for it?
What is it in particular that you don't like, the music is fine, the choreography seems ok to me the story is as good as any ballet, do you have something against Swans??

I can tell you. The music is the most cheezy I have ever heard...Of course for Daniel Steel lovers or the Moonlight sonata lovers this is fine. Easy and direct music. Different scenes, quite short...like different tunes!

Choreography? I don't like ballet...I like the Rite of spring and Petrushka though...

I LOVE Tchaikovsky's operas...they are terrific!
