The conductor and violinist Joji Hattori retired a while back to Vienna to run a Japanese restaurant on the Krugergasse.

But he still conducts the Vienna Chamber Orchestra on the side, as it were, and he’s now opened an opera venture.

The Wiener Opernsommer Belvedere consists, in its first season, of ten open-air performances of Don Giovanni, conducted by Joji, who is also the festival’s artistic director.

‘A large selection of food trucks will offer culinary delights,’ he promises.
