As far a SB goes, I care much more about the Vision adagio (first) and the Wedding pdd (second) as pivotal to the success of a performance, more than anything in Act I.

If Odette doesn't sing, the Swan Lake is a failure.

And for Bayadere, the Shades scene depends on the corps' unity and fluidity more than it does the principals' parts.

The European Mute Swan, who it was claimed never made a noise whilst alive but tragically and incredibly, sings when dying.

I hated it when I was told this was only a myth.
