When it premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake turned tradition upside down, taking the dance world by storm.

This Christmas the multi award-winning hit returns to the theatre where it all began for a strictly limited run.

Now firmly crowned as a modern-day classic, the iconic Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake is perhaps best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble. Bourne blends dance, humour and spectacle with extravagant, award-winning designs by Lez Brotherston to create a provocative and powerful Swan Lake for our times.

Collecting over 30 international theatre awards including three Tonys, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the international stage. It has become the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway and enjoyed four hugely successful tours in the UK and thrilled audiences all over the world.
