This beautiful, moving show is supremely wonderful. The ethos and emotion of Swan Lake is re-imagined into a fantastic explosion of grace, vulnerability, humour and longing. :aving seen the live show a few years ago, I was worried the DVD wouldn't live up to the memory... Needless to say it did.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.

This production is even more fantastic than the original performances. Dominic North and Winsor seem to add a kinetic and dynamic to the male company that seems to make the production more energetic and emotional than ever. Also I love the pyjamas - I've got similar ones from Brooks Brothers. To be honest, the first time I saw this production on the arts channel, I cried towards the end - for me that is a sign of a true and fabulous connection with an audience - and without words or song! This is the only classical music production that has moved me to tears - so well done! Also the "Pas d'action" using the tables was fantastic! A true masterpiece of interpretation, choreography and acting. We will watch this production again on Christmas Day 2012.

Have already recommended it to friends. Would really like to see it in 3D. Lets hope that Matthew Bourne decides to have more of his productions filmed as it opens it up to many more people.

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake
I was eagerly awaiting this DVD with Richard Winsor in the main role, as I saw him dance this role so magnificently on stage during the Swan Lake tour a couple of years ago. Read more
