2013/2014 Season Guide NEW NATIONAL THEATRE,TOKYO

September 2013 - July 2014 Opera Ballet Dance Play MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to New National Theatre, Tokyo

The New National Theatre, Tokyo, is Japan’s only national theatre dedicated to the performing arts of opera, ballet, dance and plays. Since its opening in October 1997 this theatre has planned and produced works of a consistently high caliber, earning critical acclaim in both Japan and worldwide. I would like to express my deep respect for the efforts of all those involved to date, and my heartfelt thanks to the patrons for their support.

The New National Theatre, Tokyo has two major missions. The first is to con- tinue to create world-class performances to present in Japan and abroad, while the second is to become a theatre that is widely enjoyed and loved by the people of Japan. We will strive to fulfill these missions and become a theatre that the Japanese people will refer to with pride and affection, and that those abroad will regard with respect and admiration.

In the 2013/2014 season, we have prepared a widely varied selection of productions which is a distinctive feature of the New National Theatre, Tokyo. This is the last seasons for Mr. Tadaaki Otaka, an artistic director of Opera, and for Mr. David Bintley, an artistic director of Ballet and Dance, so I believe that this season will be the culmination of their four-year term. In the play section, the ambitious projects of Ms. Keiko Miyata, an artistic director of Play, are lined up. We look forward to seeing you in the theatre.

I look forward to these performances of the new production. “Rigoletto” Ballets Russes Stravinsky Evening 17 is followed by four productions that we as a theatre must cherish, just as we The Nutcracker 18 cherish all of you. The first of these is “Le Nozze di Figaro”, then “Les contes Swan Lake 19 Symphony in Three Movements/Grosse Fuge/ 20 d’Hoffmann” . Heading into the new year, we present “Carmen” and “Madama New work by Jessica Lang Butterfly”. I do hope you will thoroughly enjoy these repertory productions. Our Faster/Carmina Burana 21 second new production of the season will be “Die tote Stadt” by Erich Wolfgang The Prince of the Pagodas 22 Korngold. This opera is not frequently performed, and is one I knew I wanted to do. I am confident that all involved, from the two leads, who have been cast in challenging roles, to the entire production crew, will bring out the true merit of DANCE this work. Next up, an opera from a composer from the same era, which created a Nakamura Megumix Shuto Yasuyuki 23 buzz during its previous run here: “Wozzeck” by Alban Berg.

These are two operas A Women’s House 25 DANCE ARCHIVES in Japan 26 that reward repeat viewings, and for them we have secured the services of two fine tenors. Next, we present “Arabella”, an opera that always brings laughter to audiences. It is also one that holds special meaning for me, as it was the first produc- PLAY tion I oversaw as Artistic Director at NNTT, and I had really hoped to stage it OPUS/Edward II 29 again in my last season here. Pygmalion 30 Les Séquestrés d’Altona/History of Mizuho in Manila 31 Rounding off my four-year term, NNTT presents a Japanese opera. The selection The Tempest 32 for the season finale embodies our hope for the continued growth of Japanese Nineteen-year-old Jacob/Time Stands Still 33 opera, as we bring you “Rokumeikan”, based on the play by Mishima Yukio.

The third installment in the “With – Connecting with World Theatre –” series takes us to Germany, with a new play commissioned from Roland Schimmelpfennig. The playwright is counted among the van- guard of Germany’s contemporary theatre scene.

The production of his play Die Frau von Frueher (The Woman Before / Mukashi no onna) brought him to Japan for the first time in 2008. His impressions of Tokyo and of Japan during that period as he traveled about, as well as what he has seen happening in Japan since March 2011 as someone on the outside looking in, helped shape this provocative new work. With his unique perspective, Schimmelpfennig explores the question: How are we going to live from this moment forward? This will be the first time a new Schimmelpfennig play will be OPERA premiered in a country outside the German-speaking world.
