"Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)" will open on the 3rd of October.

The 2018/19 season, the first season under our new Artistic Director of Opera, ONO Kazushi, kicks off with a new production of Mozart's much-loved masterpiece Die Zauberflöte. The work is full of familiar tunes including the dazzling, stratospheric aria of the Queen of the Night, Papageno's jolly Bird-Catcher's aria and the tuneful "Pa-pa-pa-pageno" duet.
As the opening production of the season, the New National Theatre, Tokyo presents South African visual artist William KENTRIDGE's celebrated staging which has enjoyed a huge success around the world including performances at La Monnaie, La Scala and the Aix-en-Provence Festival.
Roland BÖER who conducted KENTRIDGE's production at La Scala will take the baton, and the cast includes notable international singers, Mozartian tenor Steve DAVISLIM (Tamino), baritone Andrè SCHUEN (Papageno) and Serbian bass Sava VEMIC (Sarastro) alongside top-class Japanese singers.

Also, we are introducing English surtitles for the following two limited performances on 13 Oct. (Sat.) 14:00, 14 Oct. (Sun.) 14:00.

Please come to those performances and let us know what you think about us introducing surtitles.
