I think it is my favourite ballet. The first time I watched it was in those gorgeous few minutes at the end of Billy Elliot's movie. Totally loved it but I am from Latinamerica so it took me years to watch the whole ballet. I dream to watch it live. It moves me everytime I watch it even when it isn't there in the teather. The first time I watched I couldn't avoid crying. So touching. Few ballets have touched me so much. You are all genious. I respect Mr. Adam Cooper and Sir Matthew Bourne so much.
I'd not really been drawn to the idea of ballet per se but Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake has such a strong narrative that you are totally drawn into the story. The humour, the emotion and the skill of the whole troupe of dancers is spellbinding. I'm addicted to the phenomenon that is Swan Lake.
Tchaikovsky was the first composer who genuinely obsessed me as a child, Swan Lake one of my favorites. But I never cared for ballet versions. which seemed distant and unemotional compared to the music, true for me with classical ballet as a whole. Bourne's version changed all that. It at last realized all the work's passion, pain, and fierce longing. I re-watch it often bowled over each time. Adam Cooper's performance is galvanic, demonically sexy. Rather a shock to find him gentle and soft-spoken in real life.
Some many of my own thought echoed through this video. It’s an epic and iconic piece. I have seen over 10 times live and watched the piece on film so many times. I hear the music and I see the steps! Thank you for bringing back again this year!
There's definitely an underpinning of homoeroticism in the piece, and it's similar to that of the sexually ambiguous Car Man, Bourne's other revelatory take on the opera Carmen.
Adam Cooper was AMAZING in the lead role. No one has yet to come close.
My favorite swan.. Adam Cooper!!🖤🤍Thank you Matthew Bourne 🌹

Bourne's Swan Lake is simply gorgeous and it will have a place in the history of ballet. How daring Bourne's creation was. Congrats!
Powerful, evocative, provocative. A celebration of masculine beauty. Ingenious.
This ballet is an brilliant work! I enjoed every second from it!
