Seiji Ozawa Music Academy Opera Project XVIII
J.Strauss II Operetta “Die Fledermaus”
2022 Spring!
We are pleased to announce that the Seiji Ozawa Music Academy Opera Project will return in spring 2022 with Johann Strauss II: Die Fledermaus. This will be the fourth time that the Music Academy performs this comic operetta that is delightful with its lilt of the Viennese waltz.
Diego Matheuz, who has conducted numerous brilliant performances with the Saito Kinen Orchestra, will take the baton. He is deeply trusted by Academy Director Ozawa and already very enthusiastic about conducting the Music Academy Orchestra.
The base for production will return to the ROHM Theatre Kyoto, and we also plan to perform the “Opera for Children” to an audience of Kyoto City elementary school students. The true charm of world-class singer voices, magnificent stage sets, and the powerful sounds of the orchestra brimming with youthful spirit can be experienced only with a live opera performance. Cancelled last year in March due to the spread of COVID-19, Die Fledermaus will make its much-awaited return. We invite you to look forward to this opera production by the Music Academy for the first time in two years.
