A full-length balletic world premiere of the famous Italian children’s novel 'Pinocchio' will be staged at the National Ballet of Canada, Toronto, from March 11 to 24, 2017.Pinocchio, an Italian children’s novel in 1883 has been made over the years into musicals, operas, animated films and television shows. It's haunting central idea, that of a man who so wants a child that he creates one in the form of a marionette out of wood, only to have the marionette come to life and create problems of his own, has proven an interestingly potent image for many artists. The ballet is created by choreographer Will Tuckett, Guest Principal Character Artist with The Royal Ballet in England. 'Pinocchio' is a wildly funny, often moving and sometimes even dark re-telling of the original story, recapturing the adventures of the famous wooden boy with brilliantly inventive choreography and unforgettable stagecraft.The performance will be staged at The National Ballet of Canada, Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, 145 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4G1.
