Following the lifting of Government restrictions on capacity limits on event venues, we have received approval from Tokyo Metropolitan Government to sell additional seat tickets for the New National Theatre, Tokyo productions scheduled for October onwards that are listed below. These seats were previously arranged as the empty seats to maintain appropriate social distances.

• 2-25 October Drama "Richard II"
  
  
• 27 October - 3 November Drama Special Screening: Shakespeare's History Plays Series

• 27 October - 1 November NNT Drama Studio "Measure for Measure"
  
  
• 7 - 8 November NNT Ballet School "Ballet Autumn Concert 2020"

Tickets for each performance will continue to be sold on the current seating plan with social distancing basis until the additional sales dates listed below. Additional tickets will then be sold for each performance from the first additional sales day onward. See the pages of each production for more information.

Requests for ticket amendments or refunds due to these additional sales will not be accepted. However, patrons who have to cancel a booked performance because of illness or to prevent the spread of infection will be able to obtain a refund of the ticket price. Please see Our Prevention Plan and Request to Our Patrons.

Please note that additional sales of tickets for Opera "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Ballet "Don Quixote" are planned. Ticket on-sale dates and other details of these additional sales will be announced as soon as approval has been received from Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
