Matthew Bourne Remembers - Swan Lake
The highly acclaimed choreographer and director discusses his groundbreaking 1995 reinterpretation of Swan Lake, a production that revolutionised modern ballet by replacing the traditional female swans with a male ensemble. Thirty years on, Bourne reflects on the challenges of reimagining a classic and the reaction at the time, and talks about the creative journey behind the show's enduring success, and its cultural impact over the past three decades
