Full-length ballet "Aladdin" choreographed for the National Ballet of Japan by its former Artistic Director, David BINTLEY, in 2008 is back. This staging is a showcase of BINTLEY's style, characterised by its skilful blend of entertainment and artistry. First performed at the New National Theatre, this production was then performed by the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Houston Ballet, winning international acclaim. In addition to the exquisite direction and choreography, this gorgeous production features the music by Carl DAVIS, which readily finds its way to the listener's heart. Full of dream-like scenes with the flying carpet and the appearance of the genie from the lamp, this is a ballet that will thrill young and old alike, including those new to ballet.
