Excerpts from SWAN LAKE (choreographed by Matthew Bourne in 1995) performed at the 1997 Royal Variety Performance. Featuring Adam Cooper and Scott Ambler
The ending scene of Billy Elliott is just so wonderful. You see how all the other male ballet dancers are in awe of the grown up Billy and how much they respect his talent.
Yes Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is an all male cast and the end scene of Billy Elliot where he's grown up I think is actually a shot of the lead swan in this production of Swan lake, Adam Cooper.
I'd always wondered who played the grown up Billy. Although his part is small his scene is the climax of the movie and when you see his leap at the end you know his dancing dream is realized and he is able to share his "electricity" with the audience. Powerful, beautiful and moving.
Imagine Billy's dad (Jackie) and older brother (Tony) in the audience. And his dad's proud face, teary-eyed. Well done, Billy, well done. "Oi, dancin' boy!"
*I just rewatched the movie for like I dunno a THOUSANDTH time and came here, and of course I read your comment and am a wreck again. A good kind of wreck lol*
It was lovely to see the two Ronnies at the beginning of the clip, both sadly not with us any longer, Christmas in our house was always the Two Ronnies on the box, they replaced Eric and Ernie for our Saturday night viewing as a family when we lost dear old Eric 😢
He has not only gracefully captured an incredibly stunning performance, billie can do what swans do best.. "Look at me, look how majestic I am and how beautiful I am
I love Matthew Bourne's Ballets they are so unique and beautiful, I am so lucky to have seen most of his productions, thank you Matthew, looking forward to Romeo And Juliet.
@Phersephoie I don't really see how you can say the dancing is terrible, I understand it may not be your cup of tea but these dancers are good and I don't see how you can dispute that XO
EXQUISITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWAN LAKE ME ENCANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCELENTES BAILARINES Y ADAM COOPER WOOOW TE AMOOOO ADAM MI FAVORITOOOOOOOOOO. XD
Ich bin fasziniert von eurem perfekt inszeniert en Auftritt. Es ist mir als Mutter und Großmutter eine Herzensangelegenheit allen Familien aus welcher Kultur auch immer abstammend,gebt euren Söhnen und Enkel die Möglichkeit sich selber ausdrücken zu dürfen ,in welchem Beruf oder Hobby auch immer. Es gibt begnadete Talente die nichts mit dem Geschlecht zu tun haben. Nur so kann unser Herz und unsere Seele zur tiefsten Entfaltung gelangen. Der Film:" Billy Elliot" zeigt uns wie widersinnig alte verstaubte Moralvorstellungen (Geschlechterrollen) einen in seinem erblühen behindern können. Wir sollten lernen unsere Kinder ihre eigene Zukunft leben zu lassen und dann kommen solche wunderschöne Auftritte dabei hervor 😁💐❤️🔥( lass dein Herz für etwas brennen!)🌟✨💫🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🎆
I think in the final of Billy Elliot it turns out that he takes the role of the swan at Matthew Bourne's swan lake, which is a new version of the traditional ballet. there are some videos of the entire ballet on youtube
Somewhat...the final scene in Billy Elliott does not appear in the actual choreography of this (or any) production Swan Lake. However, having Adam Cooper play the grownup Billy Elliott, limbering up in the wings, quietly focussing, and then leaping onstage in that climactic burst of music was a perfectly spine-tingling finale to the movie.
Of course! The great ballet dancer Adam Cooper performs the ending scene of Billy Elliot (the movie). And yes, on those few moments of that final scene, where Billy's father is watching his son's debut, they were certainly choreographed by Mattew Bourne, following his own version of Swan Lake. I recommend you watching Adam Cooper's performance of it. Awesome.
I so want to see this. Having just seen the russian ballet do Swan Lake at the Playhouse they were rubbish compared to this. One poor swan even fell down !! Not a patch on these guys.
7:03 Hahahhahahahahahaaha The one with the feet on the air forgot to put i in the right positon hahahahaha Poor guy, he dances so well ^^ Well, no one notced so.. ^^ Great ancing :D
bit late replying now but no, not reversal just swans are male and female, yes? So this is the male version. Sometimes raw, sometimes nasty, sometimes tender - bit like men really.
Your family is here, Billy
:')
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Truf, mine too
Thanks
You said it perfectly!
……every time I see Adam Cooper leap onto the stage in the final scene of film, ‘Billy Elliott’, I get goosebumps’………
I agree! And every time I wish the movie would last longer. I want to see more! ❤️
Same 🌌🦋💜🙏🏻🐛🌎🏴❤️🩹
Me, too!
The ending scene of Billy Elliott is just so wonderful. You see how all the other male ballet dancers are in awe of the grown up Billy and how much they respect his talent.
All the fathers sacrifice is rewarded the second his son flies across the stage
Yes Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is an all male cast and the end scene of Billy Elliot where he's grown up I think is actually a shot of the lead swan in this production of Swan lake, Adam Cooper.

It's not all male, but all the swans are male, yes.
you're perfectly right, it is Adam Cooper, lead dancer with Swan Lake production, in the final scene of Billy Elliot film
……yes, Adam Cooper of Sadler’s Wells Ballet………
I would love to see this live before I leave this world with really great seats.
Imagine Billy's dad (Jackie) and older brother (Tony) in the audience. And his dad's proud face, teary-eyed. Well done, Billy, well done.
"Oi, dancin' boy!"
*I just rewatched the movie for like I dunno a THOUSANDTH time and came here, and of course I read your comment and am a wreck again. A good kind of wreck lol*
billy elliot movie brought me here...it's stunning how men can dance so delicate and strong at the same time,and Cooper,a god!
Me too. Love Adam Cooper.
If anybody gets the chance to see Matthew Bournes's Swan Lake live, please do. It is absolutely amazing and well worth the money.
I totally agree…absolutely mesmerising ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes!! I agree! I saw it in Edinburgh during the Fringe Ferstival! Unforgettable🤩!!
It was lovely to see the two Ronnies at the beginning of the clip, both sadly not with us any longer, Christmas in our house was always the Two Ronnies on the box, they replaced Eric and Ernie for our Saturday night viewing as a family when we lost dear old Eric 😢
Billy Elliot brought me here 😂 good to say im now 20 and its 2018 thankful for having me watch this netflix lmao
It give me goose bumps and tears! Oh how I wish I could see it…..🇨🇦
I can only imagine his father and brother in the audience.
I absolutely loved this last scene in Billy Elliott
These boys are now in their 40s and 50s, and it goes by so quickly, doesn't it
Their movements during 'The Dance of the Little Swans' are amazing! I love the combination between graceful movements and waddling.
Those young guys did a great job. Such synchronicity and precision.
Es una versión hermosa. Le quitó un poco la rigidez de la versión original
Yes it is Adam Cooper there is no mistaking his distinctive looks even in makeup.
My granddaughter was so impressed (and was surprised when he went to ballet school had to keep his grades up and family be engaged with his work.
The greatest "Swan Lake". Later version are also great. Thank you Mr Mathew Bourne and wonderful dancers.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you too!
Adam Cooper rocks!
Ikr

Billy grew up hella fine
Aye, he did.

more but that was the magic that kept you wanting

Your Family is here billy 💖
Love you Adam cooper
@Phersephoie I don't really see how you can say the dancing is terrible, I understand it may not be your cup of tea but these dancers are good and I don't see how you can dispute that XO
Just watched billy elliot. the end of that movie fucks me up each time, had to look up the dance ;)
It doesn't affect me at all. I just coincidentally get grit in my eye every time I watch it.
@@tomsdottirSame. Someone always seems to be cutting up onions when I watch the ending.
This is absolutely stunning
Beautiful
We need a grown up billy sequel all the dancing etc updates on the fam etc maybe him mentoring a new dancing boy
Adam Cooper is the lead swan.
i can’t see him
Scott Ambler, RIP, my dear Friend. 💙

Is this the guy from Billy Elliot?!
Is this excerpt somewhat related to the final scene of Billy Elliot the movie? The costume and makeup were soooooo similar.
I think in the final of Billy Elliot it turns out that he takes the role of the swan at Matthew Bourne's swan lake, which is a new version of the traditional ballet. there are some videos of the entire ballet on youtube

OMG, I know! I remember the first time I saw it. I wept.

Forever Stunning......
Like Billy Elliots dad I found this performance a bit, you know sissy. Funny how I watched it all to the very end!
I love the Billy elliot ❤️
Billy❤️❤️
Gotta love algorithms. I always wanted to see this.
Those algorithms! We're so glad they delivered for you :)

Billy 😭😭😭😭😭😭omg
Es hermoso,una belleza! !! HERMOSOS 😍
Love it!
me encanta etoy facinada .
Incredibilmente bello. Io l'ho visto
How can these people really look like swans
I so want to see this. Having just seen the russian ballet do Swan Lake at the Playhouse they were rubbish compared to this. One poor swan even fell down !! Not a patch on these guys.
have you seen Mathew's Edward Scissorhands and word is he wants to do Romeo and Julian??? Intriguing no??
7:03 Hahahhahahahahahaaha The one with the feet on the air forgot to put i in the right positon hahahahaha Poor guy, he dances so well ^^ Well, no one notced so.. ^^ Great ancing :D
There's quite a lot of counterpoint in this music by Tchaikovski....I never realised it before.
Superbe ballet: scenario, choreography, dancers.
Go billyyy gooo!
@MidgetBuddie
it is
So is this a role reversal, with male swans in place of female?
+2degucitas Not really. In this version, the prince's desire for freedom is represented by a swan, played by a male dancer
bit late replying now but no, not reversal just swans are male and female, yes? So this is the male version. Sometimes raw, sometimes nasty, sometimes tender - bit like men really.
Bill as an adult in The movie

I don't know much about it but the athletes that impress me alone are dancers and jockies.
Kinda cool that the dance is call Swan Lake and that the dancers sort of look like swans in the way they move.
We totally agree!
@coockysnack12 you did though and now i'm gana look for the mistake lol
I am confused. So was the movie Billie Elliot inspired by Adam Cooper?
No.
It was inspired by the childhood in newcadtle during the i984 strikes. A screenwiters childhood
