It is my great honor and pleasure to serve as a Barenreiter Jubilee Ambassador, especially, when the start of the anniversary coincides with the production of DON GIOVANNI in which I take the leading role at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center, Nishinomiya, Japan during the summer of 2023.

It is easily viewed by many, including myself at a young age, that your music scores are the authoritative and final forms that no one can touch, but most impressively, they are constantly examined and updated based on the most current research and findings. This jubilee commemorates the celebration of masterpieces created by artistic geniuses and is equally an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the expertise of all individuals who have made such valuable contributions to the world of music and have ensured their works are available to us all to enjoy and cherish.
