Details

N-Opera (Noh-pera) is a unique and innovative style of theatre performance. It is generated from blending the similarities and divergences of the Japanese performance art 'Noh' and the Western Opera. The company believes that the core concept of this performance is to explore the darkness which exists within Macbeth's mind and how this links to the Noh aesthetic of Yugen. This opera is presented in Japanese and performed by musicians from the Royal College of Music and Japanese Noh performers from the Kanze School. The collaboration between these artists added the depth to N-Opera. Length 2 hours
