Opera “Le nozze di Figaro”, opening performance received with thunderous applause! Director Seiji Ozawa enjoyed the performance!
After almost a month of intensive rehearsals, Opera Mozart: “Le nozze di Figaro” at last celebrated the first performance! It was very touching for the artists and staff to see Matsumoto Performing Arts Centre filled with an audience after three years. Thank you everyone who came to celebrate the moment with us. Everyone involved with the production was overwhelmed with your enthusiasm and endless applause.
The Festival Director, Seiji Ozawa, also enjoyed the opening performance. Seiji has thought highly of operas, as well as the symphonies, thanks to Maestro Karajan who taught Seiji that “Opera and symphony are wheels of a car”. Seiji delightedly moved his body to the fantastic voices, praised Maestra Nodoka Okisawa who led the team to perform at a higher level, and was very happy to see SKO members again after a year.
With all the encouragement from the Director, the festival is more than eager to deliver a great experience to you! Only a few tickets are left for Opera Mozart: “Le nozze di Figaro” on the 24th, tickets are sold out on the 27th. Experienced singers described that "This Figaro is fantastic and is nothing like the Figaro you have known", don't miss out this opportunity!
