Mariinsky Ballet Theatre: Swan Lake

Sir Matthew Bourne talks about his passion for storytelling in dance, and his own personal journey with his radical gender-flipped Swan Lake.

Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Swan Lake is on tour until April, bringing classic opulence to multiple venues across the country.

Ask anyone who claims to know nothing about ballet to actually name one, the chances are it will be one of Tchaikovsky's, with Swan Lake high on the list.
