The entire company will be in Tokyo for two weeks in fall 2024 at the invitation of the Japan Performing Arts Foundation. The Japanese audience can look forward to three performances each of John Cranko's Onegin and John Neumeier's The Lady of the Camellias.

The next day, the first rehearsals took place at the Bunka Kaikan theatre. The technology, costume and make-up departments had already prepared everything for the rehearsals there.
