August 23, 25, Pierre instead of my command of those two performances are wonderful, was a big success and I believe with my team and I will make the opera able to show a very high level in front of friends in China.

Scheduled for September 4 (Shanghai on September 11) Seiji Ozawa, music, performing private school orchestra conductor is being adjusted, has not been determined. Sook Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, music has been performed in China over the past. The performance by world-renowned pianist Bidesaier gold join, and selection of components in China by the choir on the same stage, very exciting.
