Based on the Japanese folktale “The Grateful
Crane”, “Yuzuru” is Japan’s most renowned opera which has been performed more
than 800 times in and outside of Japan since its first performance in 1952.
During his speech, Dr.Handa recommended that
the audience enjoy soloist’s voices, as well as to take note of how they are
able to project their voices to the back of the theater.
During the performance, the singers did not
use microphones.
Dr.Handa said, “Today’s cast represents the
finest singers, with expressive voices that have performed ‘Yuzuru’ many times.”
