[Kennedy Center]( [Kennedy Center]( [Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake]( Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake will shatter your assumptions and "leave your jaw hanging open" (Entertainment Weekly). Jan. 21–26 | Opera House With a fresh look for the 21st century, Matthew Bourne brings his breakout international hit to the Kennedy Center for the first time. 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. [Buy Tickets]( Happy New Year!
