Matthew Bourne’s audacious, rule-breaking reinvention of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece caused a sensation when it premiered almost 30 years ago. It has now become the most successful dance theatre production of all time, creating new audiences and inspiring generations of young dancers. In celebration of that ongoing impact, Swan Lake will take flight once more in a major new revival for the next generation of dancers, and for audiences who will experience it for the very first time.
Thrilling, bold, witty and emotive, this genre-defining event is still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turning tradition on its head.
First staged at Sadler’s Wells in London in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake took the dance theatre world by storm becoming the longest running full-length dance classic in the West End and on Broadway. It has since been performed across the globe, collecting over thirty international accolades including the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and three Tony Awards for Best Director of a Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.

Oh my goodness I cannot put into words how wonderful this show is ! We were totally speechless and in awe of the talent on one stage, the performance was outstanding ! And as for the orchestra, well done !!! Will definitely be attending more Matthew Bourne productions :)
Magical sums it all up - I first saw the Bourne Swan Lake 25 years ago - and as regularly as I could in the following years - and it just gets better - loved every aspect.
Absolutely fabulous. I’ve been waiting 30 years to watch this ballet. I travelled from Australia to watch it at Sadler’s Wells. It was a wonderful evening. The dancers are fantastic.
Incredible performance, dancers, music, everything, would highly recommend seeing!
Absolutely brilliant, the choreography, the costumes, stage, the quality of dancers on bare feet, is beautiful. I would recommend to read the story from Matthew’s Bourne production before to have a Clair understanding of his interpretation..
Incredible performance One of the best productions I have seen
