Event Series Event Series (See All)

Performed by The Tokyo Ballet

With a vast repertoire and international touring history in Japanese performing arts, The Tokyo Ballet comes to Australia in season 2023 with the iconic Romantic ballet Giselle.

From classical ballets to celebrated unique contemporary works, The Tokyo Ballet is a future-focussed company sharing many values with The Australian Ballet. At the heart of both companies’ artistic visions is a desire to move audiences through unforgettable expressions of their art form.

Gracing the world’s most famous stages, including the Paris Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera, and the Bolshoi Theatre and the Mariinsky Theatre in Russia, The Tokyo Ballet has performed in over 155 cities across 32 countries.

In season 2023, The Australian Ballet will continue its history of developing strong connections with ballet companies around the world, welcoming Artistic Director Yukari Saito and The Tokyo Ballet to Melbourne. The Tokyo Ballet will delight Australian audiences with Leonid Lavrovsky’s timeless Giselle. This tragic love story involving the young peasant girl Giselle and nobleman Albrecht, set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score, is a jewel in the classical repertoire, first performed in Paris in 1841. In season 2023, artists of The Tokyo Ballet will enliven this production’s magical harmony between narrative and choreography that has enchanted generations.

Audiences will be mesmerised by The Tokyo Ballet’s spectacular artists in this moving production.
