Matthew Bourne’s extraordinary production of Swan Lake is back in theatres celebrating its 30th anniversary.

When Swan Lake premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s thrilling, bold, witty and emotive modern re-interpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down and took the dance world by storm, replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble.

Now firmly established as a modern day classic, this new 30th anniversary production of Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake – The Next Generation returns to theatres across the UK and worldwide in 2025.

Winning over 30 international theatre awards including three Tonys, Swan Lake is a landmark, record-breaking dance spectacular, and is the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway, and has played multiple tours in the UK and around world.

Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake – The Next Generation is touring the UK & Ireland in 2025.
