The NHK Symphony Orchestra presents a grand program as part of its 100th-anniversary special series. Under the baton of Principal Conductor Fabio Luigi, the orchestra will perform Franz Schmidt’s masterpiece oratorio, *The Book of the Seven Seals*. Based on the Book of Revelation, this monumental work features a stellar lineup of soloists and the New National Theatre Chorus, delivering an overwhelming vocal performance. Combined with Eri Niiyama’s organ playing, the resulting auditory experience is not to be missed. With Japanese subtitles provided, you can fully immerse yourself in the world of this work. Comprising a single piece, this intensely concentrated performance races straight to its climax without an intermission. Please come to NHK Hall to experience this special evening, which brings together top artists from Japan and abroad. It will be a precious opportunity to delve into the depths of music.
