Summary: Just watch Adam
Comment: Act II where the prince meets the Swans is the highlight of the entire production. The story is about the prince of course, who is so wretched that he was entranced by the Swan King. But then, who wouldn't be, as danced by the magnificent Adam Cooper? Unbelievably agile, graceful, with arms truly the span of wings, he glides and floats and utterly seduces anyone who watches. The Swan was a reason for the prince to live, but the black swan was the reason for his downfall. The black swan was also danced by Cooper, with a sadistic, dangerous roguish energy, completely different from his role as the swan.
Skip all other parts except the ones with Adam Cooper in it. The Royal court scenes, like all British Royal related matter, are an utter bore.

Comment: I found the DVD of Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake excellent material and I have some friends queuing up to borrow the DVD. It arrived on time as promised by Amazon and the DVD was well worth the cost and the wait.

Summary: Not a fan of the choroegraphy, but can't knock the idea
Comment: Bourne's swan lake is an interesting twist on the traditional version. The choreography (especially for the swans) is very modern. Theatrical choreography is used throughout the show, which does have many good moments...but I can't say that I'm an overall fan of Bourne's choreography in this show. His Nuctracker is simply amazing though! When I saw Swan Lake live, I had the same feelings about it as I do about the video, but the "live" aspect at least allowed me to watch what ever I wanted to watch in the seen, and just made things more exciting all the way around.

Summary: Swan Lake Experience
Comment: I saw the live version of this production in Brisbane (April 2007) and it was truly magical and amazing. I did notice a couple of changes since the filming of the DVD. I love that Matthew Bourne's male swans portray the strength and well-known aggression of real life swans (not always easy to watch) and thoroughly enjoyed the DVD performances. It is good to have the traditional version of Swan Lake to turn to as well though, as I believe that it is important to preserve the original classical masterpieces that have inspired generations of lovers of dance.

Matthew Bourne, director and choreographer of Adventures in Motion Pictures--a maverick new modern dance company based in London--brings a new twist to an old classic with this production of "Swan Lake." Taking advantage of the public's preoccupation with the ups and downs of the royal family, Bourne has set his story in the modern era and has cast all the swans--including the Odette/Odile role--as males. Boutne's creation brings great ballet to an audience it has never before reached, and for cognoscenti offers a new view of the breadth of possibilty in Tchaikovsky's well-loved score. "Swan Lake" enjoyed a sold-out run in London and a subsequent critically acclaimed and public-adored Broadway stint.
