Eliza's Aria is a classical aria from the ballet Wild Swans, composed by Uzbekistan composer Elena Kats-Chernin. The piece was first recorded by soprano Jane Sheldon and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and released on the ABC Classics label. This recording was subsequently used in the 2007 Lloyds TSB "For the Journey" television and cinema advertisements and also received extensive radio airplay in December 2007. It was also used as the basis for "The Journey Continues" a dance track by DJ Mark Brown, featuring Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne, which was released in February 2008.
Eliza's Aria stammt aus der Suite zum gefeierten Ballett Wild Swans der zeitgenossischen australischen Komponistin Elena Kats-Chernin. Wild Swans ist ein romantisches Marchen von einer bosen Stiefmutter, die mit einem Fluch ihre elf Stiefsohne in Schwane verwandelt und deren Schwester Eliza verstummen lasst. Die Geschwister fliehen in ein fernes Land, wo sich ein Konig in die schone Eliza verliebt. Am Ende wird der bose Bann besiegt und es gibt ein Happy End.
Nel 2003, il Balletto nazionale australiano esegue il balletto Wild Swans della compositrice Elena Kats-Chernin (1957). Tratto dalla fiaba di Hans Christian Anderson, il balletto racconta la storia della giovane principessa Elisa che deve tessere in silenzio undici camicie per dare sembianze umane ai suoi undici fratelli trasformati in cigni dalla loro matrigna. La musica evoca l'Aria di Elisa, scritta originariamente per soprano e orchestra e che ebbe un successo internazionale grazie al suo utilizzo in uno spot pubblicitario.
