Business Overview
Although it is considered to be a representative work of Yoshio Mamiya, who was born in 1929 and is a representative composer of modern Japan, the opera "Nihonzaru Sukito Orime" has not been performed since its first performance at the NHK Music Festival in 1966 because it uses a pipe organ in addition to the usual composition of singers, chorus and orchestra, and is performed again for the first time in 53 years. At the same time, he commissioned Yoshio MAMIYA to compose a short piece to be performed with this opera, and it premiered in the world.
