Craving some Figaro or Papageno? Opera is not an everyday meal. More than a \u201cpasta al pomodoro\u201d is the \u201clasagna della domenica\u201d (Sunday lunches are typically big in Italy): it\u2019s a special occasion. And I personally miss sitting in a beautiful theatre hall, watching scenographies and costumes, listening to artists singing, acting, playing, and I miss laughing (quietly) at the misadventures of funny protagonists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place to go in these cases is the New National Theatre Tokyo<\/strong> in Hon-machi, Shibuya-ku ( https:\/\/www.nntt.jac.go.jp\/english\/<\/u><\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the research in 2000 based on the questionnaires from 21 opera conductors<\/u><\/a>, the acoustic system of New National Theatre Tokyo takes second place in the ranking of theatres in the world<\/strong>. Moreover, The Guardian named the adjacent Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall as one of the 10 best concert halls in the world<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To attend a play prices normally range from 1,650\u00a5 to 29,700\u00a5 depending on the time of purchase, the kind of production and the position of the seat. Check for discout, there are several eligible categories such as students, less than 15 and over 65 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
