From 15 to 23 November, Ryoko Aoki will be performing in Mizato Mochizuki's opera OTEMBA - Daring Women, composed especially for her, on tour in Utrecht, Breda, Rotterdam and The Hague.

Toshio Hosokawa's one-act opera Futari Shizuka with Ryoko Aoki in the title role and his acclaimed flute concerto Ceremony have now been released on CD, recorded by the Residentie Orkest under Jun Märkl for the Naxos label.

On 19 February, Ryoko Aoki joined musicians from Ensemble Musikfabrik in the virtual space to perform Peter Eötvös' melodrama Secret Kiss.

Ryoko Aoki incorporates into her performances a theatrical culture that, in the past, was largely reserved for male performers.
