Introducing the New National Theatre Chorus
The "chorus" plays an essential role in all Opera performances.
The New National Theatre Chorus was formed in 1998 to coincide with the theatre and consists of more than 100 members.
They appeared in number of various opera productions and have polished vocal ability and performing skills under the direction of the Chorus Master MISAWA Hirofumi.
Expanding its activity nationwide, the Chorus also appears in music festivals and concerts outside the NNTT including Bethoven's Symphony No. 9 conducted by Sir Simon Rattle (2016), and peys school visits every year as part of the Educational Programme presented by Agency for Cultural Affairs.
