I saw Momoko Hirata in Swan Lake guesting in Japan this January and she was still at the top of her game, fabulous and flawless, stunningly beautiful.

Tamara Rojo at San Francisco Ballet
Naomi M replied to miliosr's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
National Ballet of Japan was considering to bring their Raymonda (by Asami Maki, basically a traditional Raymonda) for their tour next summer. However, Miyako Yoshida said in the press conference that it is quite difficult to perform a classic Raymonda in the UK these days, and she decided to bring their Giselle (Yoshida/Alistair Marriott) for the tour. -

Taiga Kodama Pomfret is half Japanese. He does seem to be short but from his videos on instagram he does seem to have quite breathtaking technique. Another news from Russia is that Renata Shakirova has beet promoted to principal at last. Congratulations! https://www.instagram.com/p/C4OdmbNNGJn/?igsh=MXd6aThvMDBlaHI4YQ==

And I saw that very rare Nutcracker Prince at Noriko Kobayashi Ballet Theatre Tokyo, where Watson was a totally fine, beautiful Prince. He also danced Des Grieux in Manon there, before debuting in that role at RB. (btw Noriko Kobayashi Ballet does a fairly amount of MacMillan, Ashton and De Valois works, they have done The Invitation, Gloria, Anastasia, The Two Pigeons, The Rake’s Progress and Checkmate.)

The name of the theatre is New National Theatre but the ballet company's name is National Ballet of Japan, so I think the title should be changed to National Ballet of Japan to perform at Royal Opera House. https://www.nntt.jac.go.jp/english/ballet-dance/ ”The resident company of the theatre is the National Ballet of Japan”

I was at the press conference today at the National Ballet of Japan. This tour to the Royal Opera House is not as a guest of the ROH, the company is responsible for the tour. But of course this came possible as Miyako Yoshida was former principal at the Royal Ballet and also partnered Kevin O'Hare at BRB, this relationship helped to make this tour happen. Here is a clip from the 1st act Giselle solo by Ayako Ono, one of their best ballerinas. (another great ballerina who should be doing Giselle is Yui Yonezawa) https://youtu.be/enZHFYf0qGI?si=scguws561xwEm0F1 The designs by Dick Bird are also very impressive, quite a beautiful one especially at the second act.
