For the first time in three years, one of the world's most esteemed ballet companies is bringing its talent to one of the world's most appreciative audiences, as part of a tour that explores the parameters of dance.
Britain's Royal Ballet will present its acclaimed new production, Christopher Wheeldon's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan from July 5-7. The performances will also mark the ballet's Asian premiere.
Balletomanes hungry for more traditional fare will have the option of seeing Anthony Dowell's definitive production of "Swan Lake," which will run July 12-14, as well as "A Gala Evening with The Royal Ballet" sandwiched between those two other works on July 10.
