We are more than delighted to announce that the Wiener Staatsoper returns to Japan for the first time since 2016, after an unfortunate postponement of the Company's tour due to the pandemic. The tour opens on Saturday 5 October 2025 at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
On their long-awaited Japan tour, the Wiener Staatsoper will bring two of the most iconic productions in their brilliant repertoire. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro will be conducted by Bertrand de Billy in a new production by Barrie Kosky premiered at the Wiener Staatsoper in 2023 to receive critical acclaim. Another production will be Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier in the Company's legendary production by Otto Schenk. It will be conducted by Philippe Jordan. Both operas will be performed by spectacular casts.
Further information will be announced at a later date.
