The New National Theatre is a fantastic theatre. It took a long time
and affords to be built .6years ago it has been opened. A dream for
a lot of artists and audience in Japan came through. There is hardly
any other theatre in the world, which is technically more sophisticated
than New National Theatre. 6 years are nothing for a theatre. It is
a baby.
Now has the time come to make it walk and take it’s rightful
place in the world. Japan is not only one of the most important nation
in economics and politics, but also in all fields of culture. Furthermore,
Japan has one of the best informed audience in the world concerning
classical European theatre. Therefore it was the right step by the
government to decide to have a National Theatre for European theatre
culture. Now it is my duty to make the next step, to establish the
New National Theatre as an opera house, which has to be the heart
beat of Asia and soon should join the distinguished club of the top
opera house of the world.
We all have to believe in the magic of opera. How poor and lonely
would the world be without the theatre and music. How else could
we better express our feelings, then with music. We are all part
of this music, We are all part of this magic. Let’s enjoy
it!
