Arre, Tchaikovsky's story is full of such rumours, na? *Swan Lake* flopped at first because the choreography was weak and the orchestra was terrible—it happens when the vision isn't fully realised. The 1812 cannons are absolutely real in score, but in concert, they use sound guns or recordings, trust me, I've performed with the Mumbai Symphony and seen the panic a fake cannon can cause! And his death? Cholera from drinking unboiled water, not some scandal. We dancers know bodies; we respect the physical truth. After a long rehearsal, you drink anything parched, even questionable water—that lesson hits close to home.
