Music Drama in 3 Acts
This production of Ring by maestro Götz FRIEDRICH, staged over three years at the New National Theatre, Tokyo since 2015, is one of beauty, characterised by its clarity and philosophical approach, and elicited much attention. The Artistic Director of Opera ONO Kazushi will be on the podium replacing the former Artistic Director IIMORI Taijiro.
Internationally acclaimed Wagnerian singers Michael KUPFER-RADECKY and FUJIMURA Mihoko will return to the stage of NNTT alongside the stunning Japanese singers.
