Performer: Yuka Kobayashi

The 2023–24 season at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, opens with straightforward stagings of an unusual double bill of Suor Angelica and L’Enfant et les sortilèges.

Philippe Arlaud’s production for New National Theatre Tokyo may not be in its first youth, but it delivers on all counts. Leonardo Capalbo, Egils Siliņš and Yuka Kobayashi lead an excellent cast.
