Swan Lake.  Gorgeous choreography, beautiful dancers, amazing moves.  If you like ballet — or just love the idea of watching gorgeous men and women leap and spin in rather revealing outfits — Swan Lake is definitely a ballet to catch.  Especially when it’s done by Tony Award winning choreographer Matthew Bourne.  And if you live in the Columbia area (or can get there), you can see this ballet while chomping on popcorn and nachos.  Best of both worlds, right?

From the press release:

NCM Fathom Events and More2Screen present Matthew Bourne’s triumphant 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. For a complete list of theater locations and prices, visit the NCM Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

“The multi-camera 3-D production creates a unique experience that will draw movie theater audiences onto the stage with dramatic realism during this special Fathom event,” said Dan Diamond, senior vice president of NCM Fathom Events.

For folks who caught Fathom Events’ showing of Giselle last year, this will be a perfect second dose of ballet awesome.  And for those who didn’t?  Hey, now’s your chance to catch ballet in 3D.  Much better than the cheap seats in second balcony if you headed up to Broadway.
