Opera "Tono Monogatari"

It has been 111 years since the "Tono Monogatari" written by Kunio Yanagita was fascinated by the tradition of Tono told by Kizen Sasaki from Tono. Konnyakuza, who has continued to create new Japanese operas, met "Tono Monogatari" and the 2019 opera "Tono Monogatari" was born. This time, the ties have overlapped many times, and it was a pleasure to perform in Tono, the birthplace of the story. The 2021 spring tour will welcome Chiakigaku in Tono after the performance of the theater appreciation event <Tohoku block 14 stages, Chubu Hokuriku block 24 stages>.
