Piece together the magical adventure of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake ballet with this unique musical jigsaw puzzle.

Begin with a musical puzzle frame that outlines in illustrations and text the key events of Swan Lake – from Prince Siegfried’s encounter with a flock of swans after running away from home to his discovery that the most beautiful swan is actually a human princess, Odette, who has been cursed by an evil sorcerer, to how the curse is finally lifted.

Using the full puzzle image on the poster as a reference, put together an enchanting illustration showing Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette, the swans, their retreating adversaries and their beautiful kingdom. Then press the musical notes to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky’s original score. Imagine the flock of swan ballerinas spinning gracefully to the shimmering strings and spellbinding harp, the four cygnets dancing in unison to the playful music of two oboes and more.

Flip the poster over to find additional details on the story’s happy ending and biographical information about the composer and how the music connects with the story.

Manufacturer’s note: please pull the white tab out of the back of the puzzle frame before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in the exact location to work, which may be hard for young children. All sound clips are 10 seconds long.
