- “Le Villi” (The Willis): Giacomo Puccini’s first opera, a dark tale of betrayal, death, and vengeance inspired by the same folklore that inspired the ballet Giselle.
- “Cavalleria Rusticana”: Pietro Mascagni’s one-act opera, famous for its intense drama, passionate vocal lines, and the beautiful “Intermezzo,” set against the backdrop of an Easter celebration in a Sicilian village.
The performance will be held at the prestigious Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Large Hall. Confirmed artists include the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Fujiwara Opera Chorus Group, conducted by Maestro Masaki Shibata (conducted the Jan 31st and Feb 1st performances for a later tour). Soloists for the Tokyo dates include Haru Ito (Soprano), Kazuaki Sawazaki (Tenor), and others for the main roles, though soloists will vary between the two days.
