- Synopsis:
The Little Mermaid - A ballet based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen “Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very deep, so deep that no cable could reach the bottom: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above”. So begins the story of the Little Mermaid’s true love for a terrestrial Prince, for whom she sacrifices the most precious things she has: her voice and her life. This new ballet production of Czech National Ballet, based on the famous fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen is, delivered by the National Theatre Orchestra, choreographed by Jan Kodet and directed by the acclaimed SKUTR tandem (Martin Kukucka and Lukáš Trpišovský) - who won numerous awards, including the Grand Prix and the Audience Prize at the FIST international festival in Belgrade - with a new composition by Czech contemporary composer Zbynek Mateju. - Studio:
