Performer: Miyako Yoshida

National Ballet of Japan offer a 21st-century remake of this 19th-century Romantic classic with impeccable performances.

National Ballet of Japan has revived their production of Giselle, ahead of their tour to the Royal Opera House in London, replicating the triumphant success it had in 2022.

NBJ's season opens with a successful new production of the 19th-century classic Giselle, directed by Miyako Yoshida and choreographed by Alastair Marriott.

The 26th anniversary of the awards proved to be a triumphant year for Scottish and Japanese dance in particular.

Miyako Yoshida talks about her deep connection to Giselle, bringing her own production to London with the National Ballet of Japan, and the challenges of being an artistic director.
