Swan Lake: Matthew Bourne’s Production at Ahmanson Theatre with White and Black New Year’s Looks

Description: Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake at the Ahmanson Theatre

“Retaining the iconic elements of the original production loved by millions around the world, Matthew Bourne and award-winning designers Lez Brotherston (set & costumes) and Paule Constable (lighting) will create an exciting reimagining of the classic New Adventures production.

Thrilling, audacious, witty, and emotive, this Swan Lake is perhaps still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered conventions, turned tradition upside down, and took the dance world by storm.

Collecting over 30 international accolades including an Olivier Award in the UK and three Tonys® on Broadway, Matthew Bourne’s powerful interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece is a passionate and contemporary Swan Lake for our times.”

Coat: White House Black Market Faux Fur Persian Coat. I found this coat at the after Christmas sale last year where the price was reduced over a sale price to make this coat an excellent investment to wear for years to come.

Dress: Parker White Theater Dress, Parker Black Theater Dress. Square, matte sequins dot the bodice and line the skirt of this fit and flare dress. V-neck with a banded, open back; structured, tulle skirt with a flared finish. I bought this dress off Amazon for a great price on a highly reduced sale. I originally saw the dress online but then waited to see if it would be sold later after all the holidays. You can find this dress being sold by resellers like eBay.
