Matthew Bourne films make festive download and streaming debut 🎄
We are thrilled to announce that Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! and Sleeping Beauty have arrived – just in time for Christmas. Both spectacular films are now available to download or streaming from our Film Shop – what better time to start planning your festive viewing!
Step into the sweet and sparkling world of Nutcracker!
Filmed live on stage in 2022, this latest version of New Adventures’ beloved classic bursts with Bourne’s signature wit, emotion, and magical fantasy. Inspired by the golden-age Hollywood musicals of the 1930s, Clara’s bittersweet journey sweeps you from a bleak Christmas Eve in Dr. Dross’s Orphanage through a shimmering winter wonderland and into the irresistible, sugar-coated candy kingdon of Sweetieland.
Celebrate a decade of magic with Sleeping Beauty
Captured live in 2023 to mark its 10th anniversary at Sadler’s Wells – where it famously became the company’s fastest-selling production – Sleeping Beauty casts a spell of gothic beauty and supernatural romance. With fairies, vampires, and a battle between good and evil turned delightfully on its head, this reimagined tale proves that true love can outlast even the limits of time.
And coming soon… a Christmas return for The Red Shoes
Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes will be back at Sadler’s Wells stage for Christmas 2025. Our 2020 film captures the most recent live performance of Hans Christian Andersen’s haunting tale of obsession, possession, and one girl’s dream to be the greatest dancer in the world. Set to the achingly romantic music of golden-age Hollywood composer Bernard Herrmann, Victoria Page lives to dance, but her ambitions become a battleground between the two men who inspire her passion: the composer Julian Craster and legendary impresario Boris Lermontov, each demanding her devotion.
