The Spring Festival in Tokyo is glad to announce that 【MITSUI FUDOSAN presents Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy in Tokyo vol.5】will be held in Japan from September 2nd through September 15th 2025. Young musicians will work together for the opera “Simon Boccanegra".

With sharpness and humor, Riccardo Muti aims at passing on to the young artists from all over the world what he, himself, learnt from his teachers in a lineage that in history finds him connected to Giuseppe Verdi through Arturo Toscanini and through his own teacher Antonino Votto.
We would like to announce the outline of the academy, as well as the application requirements for conducting students.

This is a great opportunity for all the young musicians who aspire to become conductors to have a valuable experience of experiencing detailed instruction from the Maestro himself for nearly two weeks.

Maestro Muti will teach young conductors auditioned by himself, and also conduct the Tokyo-HARUSAI Festival Orchestra during each stage of the preparation process. The great opportunity to follow the full period of the Academy; including Maestro Muti presents “Simon Boccanegra” and rehearsals with singers and orchestra.
