我的回答…… 呃…… 确实有点混乱…… 因为我看过好几个版本…… 结果都不一样……
百度百科里的剧情梗概：
第一幕 王子齐格弗里德（Зигфрид）在生日前夕，其母亲告诉他，已成年的齐格弗里德要在第二天选一位新娘。而到了晚上，王子去天鹅湖捕猎天鹅。
第二幕 齐格弗里德遇上被罗特巴特（Ротбарт）施咒的公主奥杰塔（Одета）。她白天是天鹅，晚上却会化成一位少女。只有当某位男子真诚地爱上她时，她才能得救。齐格弗里德邀请她第二天晚上来参加舞会，并会向母亲表示，愿意娶奥杰塔为妻。
第三幕 各国的公主和使节都来出席齐格弗里德的生日宴会。罗特巴特也带着他的女儿奥吉莉亚（Одилия）来了。奥吉莉亚显示的是奥杰塔的形象，只是身着黑装。齐格弗里德被迷惑并与她缔结了婚约。当齐格弗里德意识到这一切的时候，大为震惊，并立即赶往天鹅湖。
第四幕 王子请求奥杰塔的宽恕，而奥杰塔也原谅了他。这时罗特巴特用魔法卷起大浪，要淹死齐格弗里德。奥杰塔为了救他纵身跃入湖内。
尤其值得注意的是……根据导演编排的不同，结尾也不一样：或者是双双逝去形成悲剧式的结尾；或者是天鹅恢复人形，王子救起公主，爱情终于战胜了邪恶（法国Zurich大剧院版）；或者魔王打败王子，带着白天鹅离去（巴黎国家大剧院版）；还有一种版本是在电影《黑天鹅》里，伤心欲绝的白天鹅跳下了悬崖。
我这里还有两个英文版的芭蕾舞剧《天鹅湖》的剧情简介：
版本一，大团圆版……

To celebrate the Prince's birthday the townsfolk and children of the village arrive at the castle with garlands of flowers. Acrobats and jugglers prepare to entertain the guests. The tutor announces Prince Siegfried's arrival and the ladies and gentlemen of the court dance for the Prince.

When the Queen departs the celebrations continue. The tutor decides to entertain the Prince and he dances with a young peasant girl.

版本二，都没死……但又无法相聚……
Act I, Scene 1:
Prince Siegfried and his friends are celebrating his 21st
birthday in the palace gardens when his mother,
the Queen, arrives to present her son with a crossbow as a gift. The Queen reminds Siegfried of his
duty to choose a bride and plan for marriage, but he replies that there is no one with whom he is in love.
The Prince’s mother and friends leave him in a melancholy mood. He is heartened when a flock of
swans flies overhead, and he gives chase.
Act I, Scene 2:
Siegfried is hunting in the forest when he encounters Von Rothbart, an evil sorcerer who is the ruler of
this enchanted place. Frightened, Siegfried prepares to shoot when Odette, Queen of the Swans,
arrives in time to come between him and Von Rothbart. Odette explains how Von Rothbart has
transformed her and her friends into swans, except between the hours of midnight and dawn when they
resume their human forms. The only way to break this evil spell is if a man promises to marry her and
never love another. Siegfried swears his faithfulness. After affirming their love, Odette and Siegfried are
interrupted by Von Rothbart. It is dawn and Odette and her friends fall under the spell of the wicked
sorcerer, leaving Siegfried alone in the forest.
Act II, Scene 1:
The Queen has arranged a ball in honor of her son in the hopes that he will choose a bride from among
the royal guests. After dancing with several prospective brides, Siegfried tells his mother he will not
marry any of them since he loves only Odette. Von Rothbart arrives with his daughter, Odile, whom he
has transformed into the likeness of Odette. Rothbart hopes to trick Siegfried into promising to marry
Odile, thereby keeping his spell on Odette unbroken. The guests from foreign lands dance a Spanish
dance, a Hungarian czardas, a lively Neapolitan dance and a Polish mazurka. While dancing with Odile,
Siegfried is enchanted by Von Rothbart’s creation. As Siegfried swears eternal love to Odile, a vision of
Odette appears, but it is too late. The Prince’s oath is Von Rothbart’s triumph, and the scene ends with
Siegfried tormented by the agony of guilt.
Act II, Scene 2:
In despair, Odette arrives at the lakeside to tell her friends of Siegfried’s betrayal. Siegfried finds Odette
among the swans and begs her forgiveness. Although Odette forgives Siegfried, she realizes that their
love is doomed. Von Rothbart gathers a storm in hopes to separate the lovers, but Odette breaks away
in passion to leap into Siegfried’s arms for one last embrace. Torn between her love for Siegfried and
the power of Von Rothbart, Odette ultimately loses all strength and succumbs to the powers of evil.
Faced with the reality that Odette will forever remain a swan, Siegfried collapses, brokenhearted.
看不懂没关系…… 本来几个版本就是只有结局不一样…… 如果你勤快的话可以用谷歌翻译试一下，知道大意就行了……
