Has it really been 30 years? Often summed up in two words—male swans—Matthew Bourne’s megahit of 1995 is possibly the most persuasive rethink (and update) of a classic ballet ever. His Swan Lake is giddy dance theater, its staging so inventive even the sets seem alive and leaping. This major revival introduces a whole new generation of dancers—and theatergoers—to a work that is now called “the most successful dance theatre production of all time.” —Laura Jacobs
