No other work speaks as eloquently to the power of music as Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony.” The Ukrainian National Opera Orchestra, with a history spanning 159 years, presents this masterpiece, which finds hope shining through suffering and celebrates a sublime love for humanity. Despite the difficult circumstances they currently face, they have not lost their pride as artists and are coming to Japan with strong conviction; their performance is sure to deeply move the hearts of the audience. Centered on Schiller’s poem “Ode to Joy,” the fourth movement—featuring soloists and a chorus—is a magnificent celebration of freedom, peace, and brotherhood. The sounds woven together by the collaboration between conductor Mykola Zhyazhura and the Shinyukai Choir, led by Keiichi Shimizu, will give the audience the courage and hope to move forward into tomorrow. Please come and experience this supreme symphony—a work in which the master composer spent many years bringing out the full potential of the human voice—live at the venue. This special performance, infused with the passion of world-class musicians, is a precious opportunity not to be missed.
