Esplanade Theatre
Thrilling and audacious, Matthew Bourne's legendary interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake transforms one of ballet's best-loved stories into a stylish contemporary tale, complete with extravagant award-winning costume designs by Lez Brotherston.
Best known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, Matthew Bourne blends dance, humour, character comedy and mime to create a provocative and powerful Swan Lake for our times.
Since its London premiere at Sadler's Wells Theatre in 1995, Bourne's version of Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the international stage, dazzling audiences in the West End and Broadway, and collecting over 30 international theatre awards, including three Tony awards.
This October, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake comes to Singapore for the very first time on the opening weekend of the Esplanade's da:ns festival. Book your tickets today to see this original production, now unquestionably established as one of theatre's great events.
