Overview

K-BALLET TOKYO, led by Artistic Director Tetsuya Kumakawa, presents its stunning production of “Romeo and Juliet” for the Spring 2026 season. First premiered for the company’s 10th anniversary in 2009, this full-length dramatic ballet is choreographed entirely by Kumakawa, drawing upon his signature speed, dramatic intensity, and technical brilliance.

The ballet is set to Sergei Prokofiev’s majestic and lyrical score, and it is considered a pinnacle of modern dramatic ballet. This revival is noted for featuring the internationally acclaimed dancer Maria Khoreva (First Soloist of the Mariinsky Ballet) in her Japanese full-length debut as Juliet for select performances.

The performances will take place at the prestigious Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo, accompanied by the Theater Orchestra Tokyo. This is a major cultural event sponsored by Daiwa House.
