Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake was first staged at Sadler's Wells theatre in London in 1995. The longest running ballet in London's West End and on Broadway, it has been performed in the UK, Los Angeles, Europe, Australia and Japan.

Bourne's rendering is best known for having the traditionally female parts of the swans danced by men.
