Preparations are underway for Prince Siegfried’s birthday celebration. The Queen presents him with a finely crafted bow and reminds him that he is now of age to consider marriage. After the Queen leaves, the festivities continue, but the Prince spends the afternoon alone, pondering. He notices a flock of swans flying overhead and follows them with his bow.

The Prince reaches the lake and is captivated by the beauty of Odette, the Swan Queen. Odette explains that an evil sorcerer has turned them into swans and that only the love of a man who has never pledged his heart to another can break the spell. The Prince swears eternal love and loyalty to her.

The Prince’s birthday celebration continues with guests from many lands. The Queen urges him to choose a bride from the assembled princesses, but he remains indifferent, thinking only of Odette. The sorcerer sends his daughter Odile, disguised as Odette, to deceive the Prince. Believing Odile is Odette, the Prince pledges his love to her, breaking Odette’s heart. Odile and the sorcerer leave triumphantly, and the Prince rushes to find Odette, leaving the Queen and guests in chaos.

Grief-stricken, Odette returns to the lake, pursued by the Prince who begs for her forgiveness. She finally agrees to reconcile. The sorcerer reappears, reminding the Prince of his false vow to Odile. The Prince fights the sorcerer, and the immense power of his and Odette’s love breaks the sorcerer’s spell. With dawn, peace is restored, and the Prince and Odette are united in eternal love.
