2016OMF　Tickets go on sale June 4!

This year OMF is happy to welcome again Fabio Luisi, Metropolitan Opera Principal Conductor, this time both in Orchestra Concert A and B to conduct Honegger: Symphony No.3 “Liturgique” H.186 and Mahler: Symphony No.2 in C minor “The Resurrection” together with SKO. Fabio Luisi first time visited us in Matsumoto in 2014 to conduct Verdi’s opera Falstaff and joined us last year to deliver an exceptional Mahler: Symphony No.5. His interview and press conference footage with the Artistic Director Seiji Ozawa took in 2014 upon his first visit to Matsumoto is currently available online. It is assuring that this year’s Mahler: Symphony No.2 will be exceptional in many ways. Do not miss out this performance!
