Hardly any other modern work of music theatre has been performed as often and in as many different places as Toshio Hosokawa's opera Hanjo. Now the opera, which is based on a traditional Japanese Noh theatre story, can also be seen in Schwerin.
The world premiere of the work, which was co-commissioned by the Brussels opera house La Monnaie and the Aix-en-Provence Festival, was staged by choreographer Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker. Hanjo has since been performed on numerous stages, most recently in 2022 as the American premiere at the Catapult Opera in New York with the Talea Ensemble and in 2023 in another production with choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui at the Bavarian State Opera.
