DETAILS
NNT Opera Studio was founded in April 1998 as Japan's first-ever theatre-affiliated training institute for those seeing a career in opera. Young singers are given an opportunity to appear on the stage of New National Theatre Tokyo from the first semester at the Opera Studio, in order to acquire the skill to perform as opera singers.
Dialogues des Carmélites is an opera by Francis Poulenc, one of the leading French composers of the 20th century. The opera's ephemeral but beautiful music depicts the anguish of the Carmélites, including the heroine Blanche, as they are caught in the waves of revolution, and the prayers of the nuns as they finally face martyrdom.
In this performance, the singers will present the fruits of their devotion to this masterpiece of the 20th century. The performance will be conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer, directed by Stephan Grögler, and will appear many of our former young artists who are active both in Japan and abroad. For the singers from 2021, this performance will be their debut as professional singers and will have a significant impact on their future singing careers. Please come and witness the moment of departure of these young singers!
