Featuring Benjamin Pope’s inspired orchestration and Lez Brotherston’s avant-garde designs, this production is a feast for the senses, delving into themes of longing, identity, and courage. Since its first performance at Sadler's Wells in 1995, the revolutionary revival has fundamentally transformed dance theatre by challenging traditional ballet conventions. Watch the audacious interpretation that inspired generations of dancers with tickets to Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake today!
A prince battles loneliness and despair within a cold royal family, yearning for connection. When he encounters a majestic swan by the lake, their bond begins to unlock his deepest passions. Their bond ignites hope in the prince's heart, but jealousy, betrayal, and the watchful eyes of the world threaten to break them apart. Will the prince fight for his happiness, or succumb to the forces tearing him apart?
