 The
holiday season from Christmas to the New Year is a special period when
people enjoy spending their time in the most luxurious fashion. During
this holiday, the New National Theatre, Tokyo will be presenting two
exciting and cheerful ballets. The Ashton version of Cinderella and
La Chauve-Souris (The Bat), choreographed by Roland Petit, are works
that the NNTT highly recommends to those who wish to see a ballet for
the first time. In Cinderella, a pumpkin is suddenly turned into a fine
gilded coach with a wave of a magic wand and shabby clothes become a
shining dress. In La Chauve-Souris, a wife transforms herself into a
beautiful woman in order to regain the love of her husband, who goes
out to play every night wearing the fur of a bat. A series of beautiful,
breathtaking scenes depicting splendid transformation are the real charm
of these performances. Onstage, a wonderful world unfolds that is filled
with dreams, love and hope, and enhanced by a playful spirit. Come with
your family or friends to the NNTT to enjoy to the fullest works chosen
from a proud repertoire that can only be experienced at our theatre.
