MIZUKAGAMI of Noh “HAGOROMO” –Imagination to project-
Feb. 12, Mon., 2018 14:00 / Nikkei Hall
Like a novel or art museum, appreciating Noh theatre requires imagination. By amplifying the literary aspect and worldview of Noh theatre, this film will make viewers want to see a real Noh performance.

For people who think of traditional theatre as being beyond them, I think this could present it in an accessible way.

Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Concert Opera vol.5 G.Bizet Opera “Les Pêcheurs de perles”
Feb. 24 Sat., 2018 14:00 / Concert Hall
“Les Pêcheurs de perles” is a spectacular French opera overflowing with beautiful music. The opera has only been performed twice before in Japan, the last time 13 years ago, so this rare opportunity is not to be missed!
Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre Yoshiki Nakamura
What makes opera interesting for me is the combination of technique and theatricality in the vocal performance which ties the story together, at moments completely changing the atmosphere. I think women in particular will enjoy the passionate love story told in this opera.

WONDER SEEDS 2018
Feb. 24 Sat. - Mar. 25 Sun., 2018
An exhibition aimed at supporting young artists through the sale of their work. Each piece is size 10 (530mm on the longest side) or under, and all priced around ¥30,000, making them ideal for a first-time art purchase.
Tokyo Arts and Space Ayako Oshima
Having smaller works priced around ¥30,000 seems like a good way to make art accessible. For the young artists as well, it's a good PR opportunity. It seems like an interesting experiment.
