Opera "Fidelio" opens on May 20.

20th Anniversary Special Production "Fidelio" opens on the 20th of May.

As a special production celebrating the New National Theatre Tokyo's twentieth anniversary, this is a new production of "Fidelio", the sole opera by Ludwig van BEETHOVEN. We welcome Katharina WAGNER, great-granddaughter of Richard WAGNER and current Director of the Bayreuth Festival, to direct this work.

The opera "Fidelio" is the sublimation of BEETHOVEN's idealistic spirit. With its theme of liberation for the sake of justice, love and freedom, and its finale evoking overwhelming emotions, "Fidelio" shares with "Aida" the status of a celebratory work staged the world over on special occasions.

IIMORI Taijiro, Artistic Director of Opera, with his profound knowledge of German music, conducts the orchestra. Two of the world's top opera singers, Stephen GOULD and Ricarda MERBETH appear as Florestan and Leonore, and one of the greatest dramatic bass baritones of his generation, Michael KUPFER-RADECKY plays the role of Don Pizarro.
