By providing children with the opportunity to experience live performances of quality productions, we hope to popularize and promote a deeper understanding of the arts. This has been the aim of the NNTT Kids Opera series. For the inaugural production in the summer of 2004, we staged an original work entitled GET BACK THE RING!, based on the opera Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner. With many experiencing this fantastic world of song and music in a theatre for the first time, the faces of the children were aglow with delighted excitement. In 2006, we premiered Space Turnadot, which was adapted from Turnadot by the great Italian master Puccini. The Kids Opera series has since become a popular summer holiday tradition. For the third production, we present a new work entitled Parsifal and the Magical Holy Grail, which is based on the operas Parsifal and Das Rheingold by Richard Wagner. It is a tale of love and friendship, about a protagonist (Parsifal) who becomes aware of the mission he must undertake and realizes that he cannot live without Magdalena (who has been transformed into a swan), and the miracles that follow. In speaking about the production, director Miura Yasuhiro has said that he hopes the tale will give kids renewed courage as they grow up in today's world, and to encourage a sense of appreciation for the friends and family they have around them. This upcoming summer holiday, we hope children have a wonderful time with their family and friends at the NNTT Kids Opera. This new production is also scheduled to be performed at Sunport Hall Takamatsu and the Hyogo Performing Arts Center.
