The terrace of the castle is filled with joy and merriment — Prince Siegfried is celebrating his coming of age, his courtiers congratulate him while his mischievous jester entertains the assembled guests. The servants announce the arrival of his mother the queen, she presents her son with a crossbow for the hunt. The queen reminds her son that at tomorrow coming of age ball he will have to choose a bride. The night is approaching fast and when the guests are gone, Siegfried is finally left alone with his thoughts and premonitions of what the future may bring. In the twilight, a flock of swans pass over and he rushes to the lake.

 

Scene two

At the lake in the heart of the forest, the swans step ashore and turn into beautiful young girls. About to draw his crossbow, Siegfried stops fascinated by their beauty. Odette the swan princess is startled by Siegfried’s presence, he assures her no harm will come to her. Odette tells him of her terrible plight. She tells him of her high birth and how she has fallen under the spell of being a swan and only in the hours of darkness she is able to assume her human form. She tells him she is bound to be a swan for eternity by the spell unless an unblemished youth swears his eternal fidelity and marries her. Siegfried realizes his destiny has changed. The day is breaking, the swans are swimming again on the lake, Odette bids a sad farewell, Siegfried is left desolate.
