About the NNTT
The New National Theatre, Tokyo (NNTT) is Japan’s first and foremost national theatre for the performing arts of opera, ballet, dance and drama. Since the doors of our world-class, state-of-the-art theatre opened in 1997, we have staged an incredible array of productions, totaling more than 700.
About the National Ballet of Japan
The National Ballet of Japan (NBJ), the first resident ballet company in Japan, launched in conjunction with the opening of the New National Theatre, Tokyo in 1997.
The NBJ's repertoire is broad in scope, embracing classics such as Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker; 20th century works by choreographers such as Frederick Ashton, George Balanchine, Roland Petit and Kenneth MacMillan; as well as works by contemporary choreographers such as David Bintley, Nacho Duato and Christopher Wheeldon. The NBJ also commissions world-class choreographers to create original pieces for its repertoire.
The NBJ was awarded an Asahi Performing Arts Award in 2004 for its production of Raymonda. The company made its overseas debut in 2008 at the Kennedy Center in the United States, followed by an invitation to the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre in 2009, where it performed La Dame aux Camélias. The NBJ is highly rated internationally both for its much-praised principle dancers and corps de ballet.
Since the beginning of the 2020/2021 season, the Artistic Director is Yoshida Miyako, who was active in the United Kingdom for many years as a principal dancer. With this appointment, the NBJ is setting its sights on ever greater achievements.

白鳥の湖、くるみ割り人形、眠れる森の美女、チャイコのバレエ音楽の三代傑作ですが、彼の曲にインスパイアされて今のバレエ作品があるわけで、ロシアの作品云々は関係ないです、チャイコの楽曲は全人類の宝です。ベートーベンがドイツ生まれだからと言って、ナチスとむすびつけますか？

[@kobaramira878]

このビデオしか見てないですが、題名をホフマン原作の題名「くるみ割り人形とねずみの王様」とするにはホフマン原作を無視しすぎです。この演出ではディユマ翻訳版「くるみ割り人形の物語」の従来のバージョンと変わない演出ではないでしょうか。ちなみにスイスチューリッヒバレエ版を見た後、ホフマン原作の日本語訳を読みました。

世界中の人に向けて見てもらいたいならこんな小出しにせずにどんどんフルバージョンで流せば良い。 レッスン風景もバー、センターとフルで見せてレベルを知ってもらうべき。

くるみ割人形ってロシアの作品なんだよね‥。見るのもつらいわ。何にも罪のない人をたくさん56す国のバレエなんか見れるか‼️
