Would you be interested in seeing Swan Lake performed with the music originally intended? I.e. with the music that appears on all recordings of Swan Lake, but not in the performances. (Have you seen it this way? Do they ever perform it that way in Russia? I don't even know.)
The version of Swan Lake most often performed nowadays includes cuts and additions made by Riccardo Drigo in 1895 (including arrangements of Tchaikovsky's piano music Op. 72 and his own original music for the so-called "Black Swan Pas de Deux").
Personally I understand taking No. 5 "Pas de Deux for Two Merry-makers" and adapting it to Act III. But I'd also be interested in seeing an original version of the ballet, without Nos. 16, 19, and 26 cut entirely and without the "new" music added. That's the version I'm used to listening to on CD, so I don't think I would dislike it if I saw a performance using that score.
