About

Lev Ivanov (1834–1901) was a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. He is best known for co-choreographing Swan Lake with Marius Petipa to music by P. I. Tchaikovsky. The lyrical lakeside scenes, widely regarded as the ballet's most iconic passages, are attributed to Ivanov.
