Mikhail Pletnev live in Tokyo

Experience Mikhail Pletnev live on November 16th

Mikhail Pletnev will perform at the Opera City Concert Hall in Tokyo, Japan on November 16, 2026. Pletnev is internationally recognized as a pianist and conductor celebrated for his intensely lyrical playing, clarity of articulation, and a distinctive approach to phrasing often described as possessing a delicate, almost ethereal quality. His repertoire spans from the core classical and romantic periods to 20th and 21st-century works, frequently showcasing his own compositions and transcriptions – notably his arrangements of Prokofiev’s music for solo piano.

Opera City Concert Hall, opened in 1997, is a major performance venue located within the Opera City Tower complex in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Designed by Takahiko Yanagisawa, the hall is renowned for its excellent acoustics achieved through a “vineyard” style seating arrangement that surrounds the stage. This configuration aims to create a more intimate connection between performers and audience members while optimizing sound diffusion. The hall regularly hosts performances by leading international orchestras, chamber ensembles, and soloists across various genres including classical music, opera, and contemporary performances. It features a pipe organ built by Rieger Orgelbau Austria specifically for the hall's acoustic properties.
