Faqs
What is the musical background of conductor Petr Popelka?
Petr Popelka is a former double bassist from Prague who has rapidly become one of the most sought-after conductors in Europe. He is known for his ability to layer orchestral parts meticulously to create a vibrant, intense, and modern European sound.
Can I attend these concerts with young children?
Standard protocol for major orchestral performances in Japan generally prohibits the entry of preschool-aged children. This is to ensure that the quiet environment necessary for a professional classical recording and performance is maintained for all guests.
What is the P seat mentioned for the Suntory Hall performance?
P seats at Suntory Hall are located behind the orchestra (Podium seats). These seats offer a unique perspective, allowing the audience to watch the conductor’s face and see the orchestra from the musicians’ point of view, though the acoustic balance differs from the front.
What should I do if the specific seat type I want is marked as sold out?
If tickets are sold out on the primary official platforms, Jasumo can utilize trusted and verified Japanese resale marketplaces to find the best possible alternatives. We specialize in helping international visitors secure high-demand tickets even after initial sales close.
Is the program the same for every city on the tour?
No, the symphonic program varies by date. While the Dvorak “Carnival” Overture and Ravel Piano Concerto are featured in most, the second half alternates between Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World.”
