  • Acting for Two: Odette and Odile are traditionally played by the same ballerina as they have to resemble each other. Some productions cast two women in the roles, which leaves room for Odile to have a part in the finale.
  • Adaptation Overdosed: There are numerous versions of the ballet by different choreographers, both traditional and non-traditional, which change the story to varying degrees but otherwise keep the choreography. In addition, there are several film adaptations, also to varying degrees of accuracy to the original tale.
