DETAILS

Let us celebrate the New Year with three outstanding choreographic masterpieces by prominent choreographers from the 20th century to the present and into the future. This diverse triple-bill features "Les Sylphides" and "Petrouchka" first performed by Ballets Russes, which was the most talked about company at the beginning of the 20th century, and still performed around the world to this day. Combined with "The Firebird", a brand new work choreographed by NAKAMURA Megumi, a driving force in the contemporary Japanese dance world. The New Year brings you the timeless classics and the birth of a new work of our time.
