About this event

This is a 20th-anniversary vocal recital by soprano Sara Kobayashi, presented by Japan Arts at Suntory Hall Blue Rose, featuring two performances of the same program. The first part is a song recital with Kobayashi (soprano) and Hiroko Kono (piano); the second part is the world premiere of a new mono-opera, Sagi Musume (Heron Maiden, tentative title), conceived as a fusion of Japanese dance and opera. The mono-opera is composed by Takatomi Nobunaga, with text/translation by Kobayashi and choreography by Kanjuro Fujima. The program also introduces a new song, To You, by coba, with lyrics by Kobayashi. Drawing on Kobayashi’s long study of Japanese dance, the project seeks to express the world of Japanese dance through opera.
