In 2008, we produced the Opera “Tales of GENJI” composed by MINORU MIKI
in Tokyo and Yamagata(world premier in Japanese version, concert style).
In the same year, we held the first audition for Opera Singers in collaboration
with Teatro Marrucino di Chieti in Italy, and then two Japanese singers,
Akiko Sato(Soprano) and Kazuhiro Yatabe(Bass), made their debut in the
performance of Turandot in that theatre.

In 2009, we held a very important event for Asian opera singers called
“Italian Opera Week in Japan” in Tokyo from September 1st to 13th. During
this period, we organized and managed the second audition for Opera Singers
in collaboration with Latvian National Opera and Teatro Sociale di Mantova
and supported by the Japanese Embassy to Latvia and the Italian Embassy
to Japan, the first Preliminary round in Asia of the International Competition for Opera Singers “Città di Ercolano” “Ritorna Vincitor” in collaboration with the City of Ercolano
