Why the National Ballet of Japan’s Giselle matters in Japan
The National Ballet of Japan the ballet company of the New National Theatre in Tokyo brings the National Ballet of Japan’s own production of Giselle to Fukuoka instead of a standard touring version. Artistic Director Miyako Yoshida created the production in 2022 for the company’s anniversary working with the British choreographer Alastair Marriott. Marriott’s revised staging reworks the choreography credited to Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot and Marius Petipa placing attention on character and emotional detail.
Dick Bird’s set design draws on Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses. Gives the Romantic classic a visual identity unlike the village settings familiar from other productions. The National Ballet of Japan took the National Ballet of Japan’s Giselle to the Royal Opera House in London in July 2025 where Yui Yonezawa and Shun Izawa danced the leading roles and Bachtrack awarded the London debut five stars.
On 14 November 2026 Yui Yonezawa and Shun Izawa return to the leading roles at Fukuoka Civic Hall in Fukuoka with Misato Tomita conducting the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra. Seeing the National Ballet of Japan in a Kyushu hall with an orchestra in the pit offers a different experience from the Tokyo season. For a visitor the afternoon, in Fukuoka is a chance to see an internationally acclaimed Japanese interpretation of the Ballet classic Giselle.
