3D “Swan Lake” in Theaters on March 20
Posted on March 16, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Audiences across the country will have a chance to watch Matthew Bourne’s critically acclaimed re-interpretation of one of ballet’s classic stories, Swan Lake in 3D, shown exclusively in RealD™ 3D, in select theaters on Tuesday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. local time. Perhaps best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, Swan Lake in 3D was pre-recorded at Sadler’s Wells, London in 2011 with a stellar cast including the magnificent Richard Winsor as the lead Swan/Stranger, Dominic North as The Prince and Nina Goldman as The Queen. Edgy and dramatic, Bourne’s Swan Lake tells the eternal story of tragic and forbidden love with dynamic, modern day flair, making this production a one-of-a-kind experience for ballet and performing arts fans alike.
Tickets are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.

This presentation will be broadcast to select movie theaters through NCM’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.
Outstanding new choreography, superb dancing. A really new ballet experience.
HOWEVER it was done with dim lighting for a night time atmosphere which detracted from the enjoyment.
Perhaps the 3D glasses are partly the problem.
The first 20 to 30 mins of the movie were very dull and boring and a great shock if you were not aware that this movie choreography was totally new and untraditional.
I was ready to walk out of the cinema it was so dull.
The all male corps de ballet dancing and choreography was extremely clever and dancing was superb
