The company's first production of Swan Lake featured scenery and costumes by Cecil Beaton, later redesigned by Rouben Ter-Arutunian in 1964, and finally by Alain Vaes in 1986—who famously dressed the swan corps in black. Rumor has it Balanchine may have been planning this striking change in 1981 when he ordered 400 yards of black tarlatan.
