Swan Lake
Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Tues-Sat
Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake returns with a fresh look but retains the iconic elements of the original production.
This version is perhaps best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a male ensemble, which shattered conventions.
Collecting more than 30 international accolades including an Olivier Award in the UK and three Tonys on Broadway, Bourne’s interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece is a Swan Lake for our times.
