About this Event

Pacifc Opera Project's Artist Recital Series Presents:

Shizen, the love of nature, and the nature of love

Featuring stars from our upcoming production of Madama Butterfly/蝶々夫人

Shizen is the Japanese word used to describe all things natural. Deeper meanings of the word go to the heart of connection between human beings and the physical and spiritual worlds. This recital program will explore the concept of shizen through Japanese songs that reflect on nature and human connection, featuring music by Yoshinao Nakada, Makiko Kinoshita, Toru Takemitsu, and many more, performed by members of POP's Madama Butterfly/蝶々夫人 - mezzo-soprano Kimberly Sogioka, tenor Taka Komagata, tenor Steve Moritsugu, and pianists Eiki Isomura and Naoko Suga.

Refreshments will be served, and there will be a chance to win free tickets to Madama Butterfly/蝶々夫人, so reserve your spot today! We can't wait to see you there!
