Riccardo Minasi live in Nagoya

Experience Riccardo Minasi live on March 21st

Riccardo Minasi will perform at the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater: Concert Hall in Nagoya, Japan on March 21, 2027. Minasi is an Italian conductor known for his dynamic interpretations and a focus on clarity and precision within orchestral textures. His repertoire spans from Baroque to contemporary works, though he frequently programs Romantic and early 20th-century composers. He’s noted for a particularly insightful approach to Italian opera and a willingness to champion lesser-known works alongside established classics.

The Aichi Prefectural Art Theater, opened in 1994, is a significant cultural venue in central Japan. The Concert Hall itself is renowned for its acoustics, designed by the renowned acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, who aimed for a natural and enveloping sound experience. It features a vineyard-style seating arrangement – where the audience surrounds the orchestra – promoting intimacy between performers and listeners. The hall accommodates approximately 1,800 people and is equipped with a substantial pipe organ built by Rieger Orgelbau of Austria. It regularly hosts performances by leading international orchestras and soloists, as well as local ensembles, contributing substantially to Nagoya's artistic landscape.
