Description:

A bold and ambitious work by the Royal Ballet, starring Edward Watson: "The Dante Project" is born! Based on the theme of Dante's epic poem "The Divine Comedy" written by Dante in the early 14th century, the ballet brings together the talents of Thomas Ades, the composer who has been called "the second coming of Benjamin Britten," award-winning visual artist Tacita Dean, and many others from various fields to create a new work of ballet as a comprehensive art form. The result is a daring and ambitious work that fully captures the true joy of ballet as a comprehensive art form. The role of Dante, who travels through the three afterlife worlds of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven while still alive, was danced by Edward Watson, who has been described as a "one-of-a-kind" dancer with his unique physicality and sensibility. This performance is a must-see to mark the end of his 27-year career with the Royal Ballet. The cast includes many of the Royal Ballet's top dancers. Naxos Japan
