"Giselle" is our second new production in Miyako Yoshida's term as Artistic Director of Ballet & Dance. Yoshida, together with British choreographer Alastair Marriott, who has a long time successful career at the Royal Ballet, will work to recreate one of the most enduring masterpieces of 19th century romantic ballet. One of the major highlights is the set design by Dick Bird. Inspired by Lithuania's Hill of Crosses, Bird's design showcases a blend of Christianity and indigenous cultures. Following on from the success of "Ryuuguu - the Turtle Princess" in 2020, we are proud to present this full-length ballet by the National Ballet of Japan.
