Since her assumption of the position of Artistic Director of The Tokyo Ballet in 2015, Yukari Saito has staged new productions of two of the Tchaikovsky ballets: Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. The Tokyo Ballet is delighted to world premiere in November her new production of The Sleeping Beauty to conclude the new production series of the three great Tchaikovsky ballets.
The Sleeping Beauty with choreography by Marius Petipa and music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky was premiered in 1890, which is widely considered to be a summation of 19th-century classicism, with its exemplary collaboration between composer and choreographer. Yukari Saito aims to create a graceful, modern production grounded in her profound dance experience of the ballet, while embracing the distinct flavor as a classic. Sets and costumes are being created by the same reliable creative team as Saito's two previous new productions. Don't miss out!
