The 30th anniversary touring production of Matthew Bourne’s acclaimed Swan Lake has added further UK and international dates for 2025.
Bourne’s reinvention of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece caused a sensation when it premiered almost 30 years ago, replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, and has since become the most successful dance theatre production of all time.
This new “Next Generation” production of Swan Lake is currently touring the UK and Ireland, and is currently in Nottingham to 22 February 2025, and then visits Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton, Norwich, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Cardiff, Canterbury, Bradford, Sheffield, Dublin, Aberdeen, and Glasgow, followed by Seoul in Korea.
New dates added include the New Victoria Theatre in Woking from 23 to 27 September 2025, London’s New Wimbledon Theatre from 30 September to 4 October 2025, and also La Seine Musicale in Paris, from 9 to 26 October 2025. See all dates here.
