World Premiere Atsuhiko Gondai Opera "ZEN
Chofu International Music Festival 2026
2026/06/26(Fr.) 19:00 Starting
Composer Atsuhiko Gondai's "ZEN" is a work that casts a stone at a confusing time, portraying Japanese philosophers during World War II as its main characters. In addition to a talented cast including Toru K Lei and Takashi Yonashiro, the piece will be performed by shakuhachi player Suzutaka Kuroda, BCJ members for chorus and orchestra, and directed by Satoshi Taoshita, making for a solid lineup. The "Japanese-language performance without subtitles" format promises an overwhelmingly immersive experience. This is truly an opera worth seeing and experiencing today.
