The Tokyo Ballet premieres Le Corsaire to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Marius Petipa

To close the celebration of the 200th birth anniversary of Marius Petipa, The Tokyo Ballet has chosen to premiere one of his most thrilling grand ballets, Le Corsaire.

Le Corsaire is a ballet based on the poem of the nineteenth-century poet Lord Byron, set in the Mediterranean Sea controlled by the Ottoman Empire. It is a story of pirates and slave girls' exciting adventure and romance. It is packed with many celebrated passages such as powerful and virtuoso dances by pirates and beautiful slave girls, corps de ballet in Le Jardin animé and character dances. Le Corsaire in fact represents charms of Marius Petipa's grand ballets.

The ballet has seen several revisions throughout its long performance history. The Tokyo Ballet will bring the version by Anna-Marie Holmes after Marius Petipa and Konstantin Sergeyev, which is included in several world-renowned ballet companies such as American Ballet Theatre, La Scala Ballet and English National Ballet.

Join us on an adventurous journey with The Tokyo Ballet!
