This is the second presentation of the Pergolesi opera L’Olimpiade, which was premiered in Japan in 2015 and highly acclaimed both inside and outside Japan. Tadayuki Kawahara conducts this work who has a comprehensive knowledge of Italian opera. Director Jun Aguni and splended singers currently at the forefront of the opera world will come together once again. This dramatic opera is a human story of love and hate unfolding around an athletic contest. Several lovely arias that were cut from the earlier production are revived in this one, making for an even more superb production.
