The Tokyo Nikikai Opera Foundation will hold a variety of opera events inside and outside the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan over the next three years, starting in 2023, with a focus on opera performances at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan each fall. Embracing the catchphrase "Fall in Ueno is for Opera!", we've designed an array of events not only for a Japanese audience but also for guests from overseas. We warmly invite you to visit the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan this October.

At the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, a revered venue for opera performances, apart from experiencing the production of "Don Carlo," there's much more to look forward to. Catch a screening of "Madama Butterfly", directed by Amon Miyamoto, featuring costumes by the world-famous late designer, Kenzo Takada. Unique events, like backstage tours, including admission free events, are also on the agenda.

The Tokyo Nikikai Opera Theatre's "Don Carlo" features Leonardo Sini, the young maestro currently leading Europe's operatic scene. With accolades from iconic institutions like Opéra national de Paris and Opernhaus Zürich, and recent triumphs including "La Traviata" at Semperoper Dresden and "L'elisir d'amore" at Staatsoper Berlin, Sini's return to Japan is eagerly anticipated. Renowned director and Volksoper Wien's artistic director, Lotte de Beer, alongside future opera stars, promise a captivating performance.
