The multi-award winning openly gay British choreographer and director Sir Matthew Bourne first staged his male version of SWAN LAKE at  Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London in 1995. Overnight it converted thousands of unsuspecting men and women everywhere into balletomanes.

It became the longest running ballet in London’s West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and then on Broadway where in 1999 Bourne made history by being the first Brit to win Tonys and Drama Desk Awards for both Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography.  It has subsequently been performed in the UK, Los Angeles, Europe, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Israel, and Singapore.

The DVD of the Ballet was filmed and released in 2012, but now the Ballet is being revived later this year with a fresh look for the 21st Century for a Tour in the UK which will take in Sadlers Wells for the Christmas season.  You can book tickets HERE.We suggest you beg, steal or borrow to get yours!
