Swan Lake is accurately described as a ballet opus number, which means that it is a tune well-known for being performed with a ballet performance.

The origins of the Swan Lake story have always been disputed by critics. Fyodor Lopukhov, the Russian ballet patriarch has termed Swan Lake as a "national ballet" due to its swans that seem to emerge from Russian lyrically romantic sources. However, a lot of the other movements of the corps de ballet emerge from originally from Slavonic ring-dances. Lopukhov believes that the plot of Swan Lake’s the concept of faithful love and the images of the Swan are mainly Russian. Others are of the view that it was influenced by a story written by Johann Karl August Musäus, a German writer who wrote "Der geraubte Schleier" which is known as The Stolen Veil in English. However, this story just about provides a sketch of the Swan Lake plot. Similar to this outline is the Russian folktale "The White Duck", and this could yet be another possible explanation.
