Tokyo Nikikai Opera Foundation

Project Objectives
The organization aims to train internationally active artists capable of engaging in borderless creative work. Recognizing that opera training is most effective through participation in full-scale productions, Nikikai will leverage its long-standing relationships with major opera houses in Europe and the United States to implement a multi-year international collaboration. Through these efforts, it seeks to develop a new generation of role models in Japanese opera.
Project Approach
Over the course of a year, at least one opera production is planned domestically or abroad to nurture singers and staff. Selected vocalists receive opportunities to perform with world-class singers, workshops, and private training to build skills for global stages. Staff also gain necessary skills through involvement in productions, supporting their international careers.
