Matthew Bourne's SWAN LAKE Opens At The Ahmanson Theatre

Currently in previews, the New Adventures production of Matthew Bourne's "Swan Lake" opens December 5, 2019 at Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre.

With direction and choreography by Matthew Bourne and music by Tchaikovsky, "Swan Lake" will play the Ahmanson through January 5, 2020.

The role of 'The Swan' is performed by Will Bozier and Max Westwell. 'The Prince' is performed by James Lovell and Andrew Monaghan, while 'The Queen' is performed by Nicole Kabera and Katrina Lyndon.

'The Girlfriend' is also performed by Katrina Lyndon. She is joined by Freya Field and Carrie Willis.

Over two decades after Matthew Bourne redefined "Swan Lake" for Los Angeles and much of the world, the production returns with a fresh look for the 21st century. Retaining the iconic elements of the original production loved by millions around the world, Matthew Bourne and award-winning designer Lez Brotherston (set and costumes) will create an exciting re-imagining of the classic production. Acclaimed designer Paule Constable joins the creative team with a spectacular new lighting design.

Thrilling, audacious, witty and emotive, this "Swan Lake" is perhaps still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered conventions, turned tradition upside down and took the dance world by storm.
