Watch Swan Lake to celebrate 30th anniversary tour
Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures is staging a bold revival of Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky’s stunning masterpiece which premiered almost 30 years ago and which has become the most successful dance theatre production of all time. Swan Lake is touring across 19 venues over 29 weeks this year in celebration of its first staging at Sadler’s Wells in 1995, this time featuring a brand new generation of dancers.
Matthew Bourne’s thrilling, bold, witty and emotive genre-defining production is still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which has shattered convention and turned tradition on its head.
Illuminations filmed the fabulous 2020 reimagining of the show for Sky Arts and at present our film remains the most recent and contemporary Swan Lake available. It is the only production you can stream or download if you have missed the current live show, or if you saw it, loved it, and need a reminder!
Of the new show, Matthew Bourne said, “As our swans take flight once more in this major revival, I’m full of anticipation for the challenges it will bring for our next generation of dancers and the wonder that it will bring to audiences who will experience it for the very first time”.
Since taking the dance world by storm, Swan Lake has become the longest running dance classic in London’s West End and on Broadway, and has been performed across the globe winning major international accolades.
