Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake will return for its 30th anniversary at The Lowry in November this year.
‘Swan Lake The Next Generation’ is a reinvention of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece and “caused a sensation when it premiered almost 30 years ago.”
The show “has since become the most successful dance theatre production of all time” and in celebration of that ongoing impact, Swan Lake will take flight once more in this major revival.
Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake will visit The Lowry from November 19 until November 30.
Matthew Bourne said: “When our Swan Lake was premiered nearly 30 years ago it created a sensation that none of us could have predicted.
“I think we knew that we had a good idea but could never have dreamt of the impact it would have on all of us, our audiences and the wider dance world. I have seen over those 30 years how this production has continued to change lives, create new audiences and inspire young dancers.
“The inspiration of Swan Lake is central to our “talent development” programme at New Adventures, especially in our Cygnet School and Swan School, where we aim to develop the dancers of the future to feature in our many productions.
“Indeed, this new revival of Swan Lake will feature dancers who have been nurtured through these programmes, or through their professional development as New Adventures company members, with many of them making their debuts in these coveted roles.”
First staged at Sadler’s Wells in London in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s Swan became the longest-running full-length dance classic in the West End and on Broadway.
It has since been performed across the globe, collecting over thirty international accolades including the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and three Tony Awards for Best Director of a Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.
