The “Ballet” stamp series is an artistic representation of the beauty and elegance of classical ballet, its graceful movements, and the grandeur of the stage. The stamps feature three masterpieces of classical ballet: “Swan Lake,” “The Nutcracker,” and “Giselle.”
“Swan Lake”
The stamp depicts the romantic figures of Odette and Prince Siegfried, the principal characters of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s renowned ballet, captured in graceful and elegant movement against a blue-toned stage setting.
“The Nutcracker”
The stamp portrays the festive atmosphere of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” featuring a Christmas tree and the characters of the Nutcracker and Clara, set against a vivid red stage backdrop.
“Giselle”
The stamp illustrates the graceful movements and romantic essence of the principal characters in “Giselle” by Adolphe Adam, conveying the delicate and lyrical nature of classical ballet against a turquoise-blue natural setting illuminated by moonlight.
Each stamp design incorporates imagery that reflects the distinctive characteristics and themes of the respective ballet. In particular, the “Swan Lake” design features ballet dancer O. Batsaikhan, while the “Giselle” design portrays People’s Artist and “Ballet Dancer of the Century” Yu. Oyun.
