Swan Lake’s first failure was due to poor staging and critics who couldn't grasp its emotional depth, much like how my own art is misunderstood back home. The cannons in the 1812 Overture are absolutely real in performance—a thrilling, explosive truth I crave in a life of quiet constraints. And Tchaikovsky didn't die from cholera alone, but from the torment of living a truth he had to hide; I know that particular loneliness, researching him in my hostel room, far from my own family's expectations.
