Juan Diego Flórez in Concert
Program

Juan Diego Flórez in Concert

Following the showstopping concert last year, we are delighted to welcome again Juan Diego Flórez in concert on 31 January 2024 at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.

Since his sensational debut at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in 1996, Juan Diego Flórez has appeared at every major international opera house under the world's leading conductor. Having gained particular renown for his performances in the belcanto repertoire, he thought the time was ripe for him to sing arias from Mozart and Verdi. The program will include arias from Mozart, Rossini and Verdi, which will showcase his exceptional artistry.

Flórez will be joined by the Italian conductor Michele Spotti. Join us for a special, sumptuous evening!

Juan Diego Flórez & Pretty Yende Duo Concert
Program

Juan Diego Flórez & Pretty Yende Duo Concert

The duo concert featuring virtuoso bel canto arias will be a sumptuous musical feast. South African soprano Pretty Yende, one of the most sought-after operatic singers of her generation, will make her Japan debut in a duo concert with the world's leading tenor Juan Diego Flórez.

In 2010, Pretty Yende became the first artist in the history of the Belvedere Singing Competition to win the top prize in every category and went on to win First Prize in the Operalia in 2011. She made her debut with the Teatro alla Scala in 2010 as Berenice in Rossini's L'Occasione fa il Ladro. In 2013, she made her critically-acclaimed debut at the Metropolitan Opera where she sang as La Comtesse Adèle in Rossini's Le Comte Ory to perform opposite Juan Diego Flórez in the title role. Since then, the two singers have regularly sung together in concerts. Their Japan debut as a duo is not to be missed.

Asmik Grigorian in Concert
Program

Asmik Grigorian in Concert

"One of the fiercest dramatic talents in the field" (The New York Times) , Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian's "versatility is astounding" (The Times) with a "wild voice［that is］rich and dark" (Le Monde).

Grigorian made her operatic debut in Christiansand, Norway, in 2004 as Donna Anna directed by Jonathan Millar. Since 2011, she has performed internationally at various opera houses. With the triumphant performance in Salome at the Salzburg Festival in 2019 praised as "a Salome to end all Salomes" (Financial Times), she made a name for herself in the world and has continued to perform an array of roles at most prestigious opera houses including the Wiener Staatsoper, the Royal Opera House, the Bayerische Staatsoper, La Scala and the Beyreuth Festspeile.

In the two concerts on May 15 and 17, at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, Asmik Grigorian will showcase a full breadth of her artistry with two characteristic programs, the first part in common with arias from Rusalka, Evgeny Onegin, The Queen of Spades, and different second parts: one with arias of Puccini, the other of Richard Strauss. Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted by the Armenian conductor Karen Durgaryan. Two concerts not to be missed.

Performance Dates & Tickets

Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris returns to Japan for the first time in four years.

Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris, the world's oldest ballet company, returns to Japan for the first time in four years. Pursuing the highest level of artistry and supreme elegance, it has continued to be one of the leading ballet companies in the world with an incomparable heritage of 363 years and attitude towards incessant innovation. José Martinez leads the Company, with a line-up of some of the most prestigious dancers in the world, to Japan for the first time as Director of Dance.

The tour will open at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan on Thursday 8 February 2024 with Rudolf Noureev's Le Lac des cygnes (Swan Lake). Noureev, one of the most charismatic ballet stars of the 20th century, created his own version in 1984 as soon as he became the Company's Director of Dance. It will be performed in Japan for the first time in 18 years by versatile dancers in principal roles including three newly-appointed Étoiles Guillaume Diop, Hannah O'Neill and Marc Moreau.

Following the five performances of Le Lac des cygnes, Kenneth MacMillan's L'Histoire de Manon (Manon), an inarguable masterpiece of narrative ballet, will be presented with stellar dancers in four different casts over five performances at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.

Both ballets will demonstrate the Company's quitessential artistry and dramatic qualities, and each and every performance is not to be missed.
