Performer: Kazushi Ono

Mit einer neuen und revolutionären Inszenierung von Romeo Castellucci, zeigt die Oper Lyon eine radikale Analyse einer ideologisch oft missbrauchten Figur. Kazushi Onos mitfühlende Regie wandelte Arthur Honegger und Paul Claudels Werk in etwas Erhabenes, ohne die geheimnisvolle Spiritualität zu verlieren.

For his new staging of Rossini’s Guillaume Tell at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, director Yannis Kokkos avoids specific contemporary references, choosing a setting that transcends the times. 

Rare sur les scènes belges, le violoniste très attendu a délivré une somptueuse interprétation du concerto de Brahms, avant une symphonie de Scriabine trop soignée par le Brussels Philharmonic et son chef.

Kazushi Ono, Artistic Director at Tokyo’s foremost opera house, introduces this year’s bel canto-infused season – and explains his vision for the house’s distinctive Theatergeist.

Beginning with an unusual Puccini/Ravel double bill, and with two new productions and an array of revivals, New National Theatre Tokyo’s season 2023–24 has much to offer.

Tokyo-born but with 25 years of conducting in Europe under his belt, Ono talks about Mark-Anthony Turnage's large scale choral work Hibiki, his current work on Prokofiev's The Fiery Angel and future plans.
