Le nozze di Figaro

The Wiener Staatsoper returns to Japan for the first time since 2016. The tour opens on Saturday 5 October 2025 at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.

On their long-awaited Japan tour, the Wiener Staatsoper will present two of the most iconic productions in its brilliant repertoire.

Both operas will be performed by spectacular casts including baritone Andrè Schuen, soprano Hanna-Elisabeth Müller, soprano Ying Fang, and bass Riccardo Fassi and mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz in Le nozze di Figaro, and in Der Rosenkavalier, soprano Camilla Nylund, bass Peter Rose, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey, baritone Adrian Eröd and soprano Katharina Konradi.
