With Dance to the Future, the New National Theatre Ballet looks to do exactly that—give its dancers a chance to innovate with all-new choreography. The program includes three works: Wolfgang for Webb, set to music by Mozart; Hiroyuki Iguchi’s choreographic debut, Snow Lotus, set to music by Bach; and Kenshi Nohmi’s 1994 The Last Era of Cinderella, in which the founder of influential troupe Dance Teatro 21 gives the old yarn a new twist.
