Matthew Bourne’s
 audacious, rule-breaking reinvention  of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece caused a sensation when it first staged at Sadler’s Wells in London in 1995 almost 30 years ago. It is still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turning tradition on its head. It took the dance theatre world by storm and has since been performed across the globe, collecting over thirty international accolades including the Olivier Award and three Tony Awards.
