Statement from Maestro Daniel Oren

To my dear fans in Tokyo and beloved audience,

It is with great regret that I have to withdraw from the concert at the Suntory Hall due to a medical emergency. I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the audience, who I was very much looking forward to seeing again.

I also want to thank Maestro Boemi who is stepping in for me and am sure the concert will be a great success.

I hope to see all of you again soon!

My warmest wishes,

Daniel Oren

 


Statement from Vittorio Grigolo

Dear audience,

I am saddened that Maestro Oren has had to withdraw from the concert. Of course, I fully understand that his health comes first. I wish him a good recovery and hope that he will soon be in great shape again.

I am very happy that Maestro Boemi was willing to step in for Maestro Oren, especially on such short notice. I have known Maestro Boemi for many years and, not only have we always had a wonderful collaboration, we also became close friends.

Thank you also to the entire team of NBS and to the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra for all their efforts and support!

See you soon, I look forward to seeing all of you.

Vittorio Grigolo

Performance Dates & Tickets

A sumptuous triple bill featuring the world premiere of Jo Kanamori's KAGUYAHIME - Act 2 will be presented at Ballet Holiday in Ueno no Mori.

The Tokyo Ballet premiered Jo Kanamori's KAGUYAHIME - Act 1 to audience and critical acclaim in November 2021. Its second act will finally be presented in a triple bill at Ballet Holiday in Ueno no Mori 2023, an annual ballet festival held during Golden Week.

The setting of KAGUYAHIME now moves to The Mikado's Court to which Kaguyahime is taken by Okina, her nursing father, blinded by greed. Kaguyahime finds herself isolated in the Court. As if the gravitational pull of the Moon affects humans, a tension is caused between Kaguyahime and courtiers, which will be portrayed by a powerful corps de ballet. Sets and costumes will be renewed to make it possible to fully express the power of music and dance in the drama.

The triple bill will also feature two beautiful masterpieces: In the Night by Jerome Robbins, a legendary choreographer for West Side Story, and Spring and Fall by John Neumeier, Artistic Director and Chief Choreographer of the Hamburg Ballet.

Join us for the sumptuous triple bill at Ballet Holiday in Ueno no Mori 2023.

"Kaguyahime" or "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter", the oldest Japanese surviving piece of literature, has long been an inspiration to many artists in various fields. Having studied many of the works, Jo Kanamori choreographs the story set to the music of Claude Debussy. In Act 1, found and raised by kind Okina, Kaguyahime grows up to be a happy and lively girl, and falls in love for the first time with Douji. However, she is separated from Douji and taken to the Court. In Act 2, surrounded by The Mikado, his lawful wife Kagehime and courtiers, Kaguyahime finds herself very lonely. A developing tension between Kaguyahime and the courtiers will be portrayed by a powerful corps de ballet.

The legendary choreographer Jerome Robbins, probably best known for musical West Side Story, choreographed for three couples of distinct personality, to Frédéric Chopin's beautiful piano works, mainly on four nocturnes. A set of three love stories develops seamlessly and elegantly under a starlit sky.

Spring and Fall

Choreography John Neumeier
Music Antonín Dvořák - Serenade in E major op. 22
Scenery, Costumes and Lighting John Neumeier

John Neumeier's Spring and Fall set to plaintive melody of Dvořák's Serenade for Strings is danced by seven female dancers and ten male dancers to weave a world of mellow lyricism and youthful vividness. While Neumeier was working with music of Dvořák, the words 'spring and fall' suddenly came to his mind. Then he remembered that one of the poems by English poet Gerard Hopkins had the same title. Neumeier decided to borrow the title. Like the poet expresses profounder world than each word literally means, Neumeier portrays a metaphysical world of 'Spring and Fall'. In the ballet, you will savour the various facets of life: joy, sweetness and sorrow.
