After the lights dim in Budapest’s magnificent Opera House, Ukrainian ballerina Ganna Muromtseva flutters high with undulating arms in the lead role of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake ballet. At the end, the audience bursts into applause.

I said bye-bye to my career,” she said between rehearsals in Budapest to play the demanding dual role of ethereal white swan Odette and deceptive black swan Odile.
At a public dress rehearsal, Muromtseva enchanted the audience with her passionate, almost hypnotic performance.“It is a totally different production . For me it feels like I really have to prove .... You have to be...very flexible in your head, not in your body.” Tough training and a tight schedule helps get by, Muromtseva said, though back in her rented flat, she sometimes cries to let it all out.
Muromtseva was registered as a refugee in Germany last year where she was offered new pointe shoes and a place to practice, before she auditioned for the job at the Hungarian State Opera, which has Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian dancers among its soloists and international corps de ballet.
