Programmes for The Royal Ballet 2023 Japan Tour

As previously announced in February, The Royal Ballet's Japan Tour as a full company is scheduled for June/July 2023. Following discussion with the Director, Kevin O'Hare, we are delighted to announce that the Company will present Romeo and Juliet choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan and a gala programme. 

 

Romeo and Juliet, needless to say, is one of the staple works of The Royal Ballet. With stellar dancers in a different cast every day, the quintessential dramatic qualities of the Company will be demonstrated in MacMillan's powerful interpretation of William Shakespeare's enduring classic. Also not to be missed will be a special gala programme illustrating the dazzling range of The Royal Ballet's repertoire and the brilliance and versatility of its acclaimed dancers.

 

Scheduled performance period:from end of June to early July 2023 

Programmes:Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet and a gala programme 

 

Further information will follow at a later date.

The Royal Ballet Gala has successfully opened on 13th and everyone could enter the country and perform, giving excellent superb performances. I will report a Ilttle later as I have been awfully busy now. 
 

Meanwhile, William Bracewell had a talk session before the screening of Swan Lake in a cinema in Tokyo, and I had the honor of speaking with him. There is a short video of his talk session regarding Swan Lake, the joy of being promoted principal and his comments on his colleagues are so warm and lovely.
