Been to see a couple of his productions and would love to get hold of the score but they don't seem to be available anywhere.

Can anyone help me? Looking to preload a MP3 player for Christmas!

Do you mean pieces of music for his productions like Swan Lake, Joyce? You could get those from a CD but it might be more tricky to find the exact soundtracks used for his shows....

I think the Matthew Bourne productions use recordings rather a live orchestra, and they probably have their own recordings made for copyright reasons, so you provably couldn't get the exact recording, however there are many recordings available of Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Cinderella etc

The original scores of things like Swan Lake are available on imslp.org for free (as long as they're PD).

We went to Sadler's Wells to see Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake and I can confirm there was a live orchestra playing at the front during the show

It was AMAZING!!!!!!!
