Kyochika's take
Three year-end classics in one afternoon: The Nutcracker, Messiah and the Ninth
The Hallelujah Chorus and the Ode to Joy are sung by the full Shin-yu Kai Choir, and Mika Horii's narration should make it easy for classical newcomers
With a 14:30 Saturday start, you can walk to the Marunouchi and Yurakucho illuminations afterwards
