The Tokyo Ballet and the Béjart Ballet Lausanne will bring one of the greatest masterpieces by Maurice Béjart, The Ninth Symphony, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven in Tokyo, in April 2020.
The Ninth Symphony is a choreographic interpretation of Beethoven's masterpiece by Maurice Béjart. It is an unparalleled, large-scale spectacle premiered in 1964 at the Cirque Royal in Brussels. Since then, it has been staged at several unique venues and opportunities for a ballet such as the Palais des Sports in Paris, at the Opening of the Olympic Games in Mexico City, and the Piazza San Marco in Venice.
After an absence of 15 years, the ballet was revived in 2014 by the Béjart Ballet Lausanne and The Tokyo Ballet, the two sister companies, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of The Tokyo Ballet, at the NHK hall in Tokyo with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Zubin Mehta.
In April 2020, more than 80 dancers of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne and The Tokyo Ballet come together again to perform The Ninth Symphony with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Opera Singers and solo singers conducted by Toshiaki Umeda. It will be a concentration of artistry of about 350 artists.
