The World Ballet Festival Returns for Summer 2021

For 45 years now, the most talented and renowned dancers have come to Tokyo every three years from around the world to perform at the World Ballet Festival, which will once again be held this summer. When it was first introduced in 1976 under the leadership of Tadatsugu Sasaki, it was very rare for star dancers of different companies or countries to share the stage. Its first edition caused an international sensation by bringing together more than 20 world-class dancers including three legends, Margot Fonteyn from the UK, Maya Plisetskaya from the Soviet Union and Alicia Alonso from Cuba. The Festival is a pioneer of its kind.

Since then, stars such as Jorge Donn, Patrick Dupond, Alessandra Ferri, Sylvie Guillem, Marcia Haydée, Manuel Legris, Vladimir Malakhov and Gil Roman have become regular participants, bringing the audiences to a storm of excitement every time and inspiring them to watch and compare the dancers' performances. The circle of energy created between audiences and artists in this Festival produces an atmosphere that motivates dancers to perform to the best of their abilities, and has resulted in many legendary performances. Featuring the world's leading dancers, all from different artistic backgrounds and representing a wide variety of repertoire and styles, the Festival also offers an opportunity to observe an overview of today's ballet scene. While there are many similar festivals today, the quality of the artists and the enthusiasm of the audiences at the World Ballet Festival continues to be among the highest in the world.

Ballet is an art form of nonverbal communication that unites finely tuned bodies and minds with sophisticated powers of expression, to create a deep and lasting impression on the audience. What you see on stage is life itself. Since last year, we have been hearing from many audience members saying that they appreciate the live performances more than ever, in these difficult times of COVID-19. We hope that the 16th World Ballet Festival will be another great opportunity for you to fulfill your appetite for performing arts.
