Award-winning opera design project.
The New National Theatre Tokyo introduces a special program that bridges the worlds of technology and human connection. This innovative opera features Alter 3, an android performer who befriends children in the chorus, blending professional opera singers, ballet dancers, and orchestral music.
The design concept, meticulously crafted to represent a dynamic matrix space, seamlessly transitions between realities onstage. Despite technical challenges, including navigating COVID restrictions, the team successfully merged video imagery with the live stage, resulting in a visually stunning and emotionally resonant performance.
This opera design has received awards such as the Tokyo Kukan (Space) Design AWARD for the entertainment prize and the Kisaku Ito Theatre Design Memorial Award.
