R.Petit's LA CHAUVE-SOURISThe 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.
