Produced by Artistic Director of Opera ONO Kazushi with a libretto by novelist SHIMADA Masahiko, this work is composed by SHIBUYA Keiichiro, who was also involved in the Vocaloid Opera THE END, starring Hatsune Miku, and the android opera Scary Beauty. Conducted by ONO Kazushi, with direction supervised by OGAWA Eriko and featuring dance scenes with choreography by KAIKAWA Tetsuo of the National Ballet of Japan, this production is a collaboration on an unprecedented scale that goes beyond the bounds of regular opera.
This special programme is for the enjoyment of children and grownups alike. Witness the birth of a new opera, performed by Alter 3, an android with artificial life who makes friends with children in the chorus as they sing and perform together. This opera brings together an android and children, professional opera singers and the New National Theatre Chorus, ballet dancers and orchestra and video and design, inviting us into a world of coexistence and technology.
