Review of Takako's Sasebo concert in the Yomiuri Shimbun.
Following highly acclaimed performances in Japan, Toronto had a rare opportunity to hear soprano Takako Yanagida perform a program of exquisite Japanese art songs and opera classics to a full house at the Glenn Gould Studio. With Chiharu Zeng, piano.
Takako recently returned from Japan after a very successful recital, 'Takako in Osaka IV', her sixth biannual solo recital in the Kobe/Osaka area. This enchanting program at the amazing Phoenix Hall included traditional and modern Japanese art song and opera favourites and was enthusiastically received by the full house. The recital was featured in the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's national newspaper.
Takako returned to Sasebo for an Opera Gala Concert with the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra. See pictures from the concert here.
Takako made a return engagement as Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus at Tokyo's Bunka Kaikan Hall. Nikikai Opera's summary of the performance, including pictures, can be found here. (Note: Japanese text.)
