Performance Dates & Tickets

Sonya Yoncheva, one of the greatest sopranos of her generations, made a sensational Japanese debut in July 2022. She returns to Japan this September to sing another mesmerizing program of opera arias from Bellini's Il Pirata, Mascagni's Iris, Massenet's Thaïs, Leoncavallo's La bohème among others.

The Italian conductor Francesco Ivan Ciampa will conduct the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra. It is a concert not to be missed.
