The show that changed the dance landscape for eternity.

This bold reinvention of Tchaikovski’s masterpiece has caused a sensation when it premiered approximately 30 years ago, and has become one of the most successful dance theatre productions of all time.

Exciting, brave, witty and emotional, this even that defined the genre is still the most well-known for replacing the female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble that abolished conventional thinking, turning tradition upside down. Initially set in Sadlers Wells in London in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake has captured the world of dance theatre, and has become the longest dance classic, in its full length on the West  and on Broadway. It has performed on stage around the world ever since, gaining over thirty international awards, including the Olivier Award for best dance production and three Tony Awards for best director of a musical, best choreography and best costume design.
