DETAILS
"Giselle" is our second new production in YOSHIDA Miyako's term as Artistic Director of Ballet & Dance. YOSHIDA, together with British choreographer Alastair MARRIOT, who has a long time successful career at the Royal Ballet, will work to recreate one of the most enduring masterpieces of 19th century romantic ballet. One of the major highlights is the set design by Dick BIRD. Inspired by Lithuania's Hill of Crosses, BIRD's design showcases a blend of Christianity and indigenous cultures. Following on from the success of "Ryuuguu - the Turtle Princess" in 2020, we are proud to present this full-length ballet by the National Ballet of Japan.

The performances will be taking place based on the policies of the Japanese government and the Tokyo Metropolitan government, along with the guideline for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 infection by the Association of Public Theatres and Halls in Japan.
