Message from the New National Theatre, Tokyo:

Due to circumstances and suspension of public transport arising from the Typhoon Hagibis, Eugene Onegin on Saturday 12 October at 14:00 is unfortunately cancelled.

We deeply regret this inconvenience to our valued audience.

Sunday’s theatre performance is also cancelled.

 

Stay safe, friends.

    Hoping that the audience, cast, orchestra and crew of ONEGIN come safely through the typhoon.

    And the rugby too.

  • Joseph says:

    It’s just not the Opera. I received an email from the National Noh Theatre this morning that all performances for Noh, Kyogen and Kabuki have likewise been cancelled, not to mention the rugby. 😉

    Tell us again there is no climate crisis, Mr Pompeo?

    • Ordinary Member of the Public says:

      Average number of typhoons, 1950-1959: 17
      Average number of typhoons, 2010-2019: 11

      We now return you to breathless reporting of the globetrotting activities of orchestras, conductors, singers and soloists.

      Huh? Why would a single typhoon say anything either way about climate change?
