The Hamamoto Opera Project (HOP) was formed under the leadership of conductor Hiroyo Hamamoto. Young and student performers will take charge of the vocal music, orchestra, direction, production, stage staff, and other areas necessary to present opera as a "comprehensive performing art" and create the opera stage with their own hands.

The opera to be performed in this memorable inaugural performance is Mozart's masterpiece opera "Don Giovanni".
The theme of the production will be "Viva la libertà!" (Long live liberty!), and will explore the meaning of freedom embodied by "Don Giovanni," who lives freely and without being bound by social norms.
