Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake at Bristol Hippodrome

Why see Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake?

Spellbinding Game-Changer

In 1995 Matthew Bourne and his New Adventures troupe took the Ballet world by storm when they debuted their all-male version of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Since then the production has become one of the world's most iconic pieces of dance and is now the proud owner of an Olivier and three Tony awards. Catch this unmissable production when its celebrates its 30th anniversary on tour in 2025!

Swapping out the traditional all-female corps-de-ballet and replacing it with an all-male ensemble, Bourne transformed Swan Lake from an enchanting love story to a dark and menacing tale of obsession and betrayal. Still full of magic and beauty, this Swan Lake is the perfect piece for our ever-changing world, challenging the norm and leaving you enraptured by its shifted point of view.
