About this event

Soprano Maki Mori joins the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra for a Christmas program that moves between opera, orchestral music and a seasonal carol. Conducted by Shigeo Genda, the concert opens with the overture to Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro and includes the Countess's aria 'Dove sono'. Other vocal selections include the Song to the Moon from Dvorak's Rusalka, Solveig's Song from Grieg's Peer Gynt and Musetta's Waltz from Puccini's La Bohème. Orchestral works include Dvorak's Slavonic Dance No. 8, Grieg's Last Spring and Puccini's Symphonic Prelude. The seasonal centerpiece is Adolphe Adam's O Holy Night, performed by Mori. The combination of familiar classical melodies and operatic arias offers a Christmas concert that is not limited to traditional holiday music. It is an opportunity to hear a full symphony orchestra and solo soprano in a program spanning several European composers and musical traditions.

Summarized from the official page and press materials.

Why does this Christmas concert feature opera rather than only carols?

The Tokyo Symphony Orchestra's Christmas Concert 2026 is structured around a soprano soloist and a sequence of European classical works. Maki Mori performs under the baton of Shigeo Genda in a program combining orchestral compositions with operatic arias and songs. Mozart, Dvorak, Grieg, Massenet, Puccini, Mascagni and Reger are represented, alongside the French composer Adolphe Adam. The selection gives the audience an opportunity to hear contrasting musical moods, from energetic overtures and dances to reflective vocal pieces.

Several selections have strong dramatic identities. The Song to the Moon comes from Dvorak's opera Rusalka, while Musetta's Waltz is taken from Puccini's La Bohème. Grieg's Solveig's Song belongs to the Peer Gynt suite, and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro contributes both its overture and an aria. The concert closes its seasonal connection through Adam's O Holy Night, bringing Christmas music into a broader classical program. So listen for the contrast between the orchestra performing alone and the more intimate moments when the soprano enters.
