Swan Lake Ballet.

Was going to settle down this afternoon to watch one of my favourite ballets,much to my disappointment it was a modern Matthew Bourne production.Could not get my head around the graceful female swans replaced by male dancers.Thank goodness the music was the same!

Re: Swan Lake Ballet.

Why shouldn't there be male swans in the ballet?

Because in the story they are all supposed to be women turned into swans....

I turned this on purely by chance and found, to my surprise, that I loved it.

I used to have to go to the ballet.I enjoyed it but with my eyes closed.The music is brilliant but not all that prancing about.

Re: Swan Lake Ballet.

I saw swan Lake on ice. It was wonderful.

I have to admit I much prefer watching female ballet dancers to male. Indont really likecto watch men doing ballet and Im always distracted by the package between their legs
