Akiko Nakajima knows all about departing: she is constantly leaving to meet her opera and concert engagements the world round. She also knows all about staying: she audaciously built – brick by brick – a career that bridges Japan and Europe and, today, is General Director of the Noura Opera Foundation in Gunma, Japan, Music Director of the Österreichisch-Japanische Gesellschaft in Vienna, Austria, and Professor of Voice & Opera at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. Come welcome Akiko to our show and get ready for a redefinition of the soprano identity.
