This is the 15th production of the “Ballet Theater for Children,” a series presented by the New National Theatre to the children who will shape the next generation. It features a revival of the original ballet *The Little Mermaid*, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, which had its world premiere in 2024. Choreographed by Tetsuo Kaikawa, the production tells the poignant story of the Little Mermaid, who yearns for the human world and experiences the joys and sorrows of love, as well as the absurdities of this world. Featuring a leading cast including Yuri Kimura, Shun Izawa, and Shuniku Watanabe, this captivating performance is sure to delight audiences of all ages, from children to adults. We invite you to experience the magic of ballet at the theater as a memorable part of your summer vacation. This performance will use a pre-recorded soundtrack, and the running time, including intermission, is approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes. Suitable for children ages 4 and up, this program is perfect for a family outing.
