A masterpiece, which won great admiration will return to meet hot demand.
"The Prince of the Pagodas", which the National Ballet of Japan premiered in 2011, drawing high praise, will return to the NNTT by popular demand. With inspiration from Japanese culture and art, Bintley revives a phantasmal grand ballet created by Cranko as a totally new artwork. This is an adventurous fantasy in which Princess Belle Sakura sets out on a journey to save her father, and meets her long-lost older brother in the far-off Pagoda Land. Coupled with Britten's music, heavily tinged with gamelan, the heartwarming story, in which witty and unique characters such as Yokai (monsters) and sea horses appear, leaves a deep impression on audiences. Bintley himself says: "This is an homage to the great country, Japan, and its people." Don't miss this work, which fuses the cultures of Japan and Britain in an artful way. For your information, the Birmingham Royal Ballet is also scheduled to perform this work in 2014.
