A new interdisciplinary opera by Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, marking 120 years since the birth of Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata Inspired by the short story “Silence” by Yasunari Kawabata, this is a new chamber opera by Alexandre Desplat, the composer well known for his film soundtracks and whose extensive list of accolades include Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Academy Awards. “En Silence” premiered in Luxembourg in February 2019, 120 years after the birth of Kawabata, and comes to Japan in January 2020 after performances also in Paris. In addition to the Luxembourg-based contemporary music ensemble United Instruments of Lucilin, the opera brings together a strikingly wide range of collaborators, including the creative director of the brand Valentino for the costumes. The result is a truly new kind of opera experience that defies conventional categories. In French with Japanese surtitles
