What is La Scala Bridge?

In the past, we have held a project titled "Kigahon! Classic, a project that combines classical music and opera commentary by a conductor who was also a lecturer at the Opera Research Institute of the Agency for Cultural Affairs with mock performances, and Aesthetic Eye Lecture, a project designed to allow people to listen to classical music and opera performances casually on the Internet. We have held more than 20 such events, including concerts and small round-table discussions, and have worked with nearly 100 people, including pianists, vocalists, conductors, calligraphers, and other artists, to expand the base of classical music and opera, and have gradually gained more fans.
This project, "La Scala Bridge" - Transferring the traditional skills of Teatro alla Scala to the future, is a project to create a climate where people can enrich their minds with songs for the next 300 years, to enrich the minds of song fans, and to build a happy and peaceful society with many performers.
In the same way that there were people who passed on the spirit and techniques of sculpture from Donatello to Michelangelo in the Renaissance, and from Shogun Manpuku to Kuninaka Komaro in the Tenpyo period, the Silvestro Concert Hall is part of the activities to protect the spirit and techniques of La Scala in Milan, which inherited the spirit and techniques of the most glamorous bel canto period, as culture in Japan.
The reason for this project is that in the 30 years since the collapse of the bubble economy in 1991, the economic growth rate, which had been around 5%, has declined and has never returned to the pre-bubble level, hovering around 0%.

In addition, there is a shift from the pre-bubble generation with economic capacity to the post-bubble generation. Furthermore, the population will decline by an average of one million people per year over the next 40 years due to the aging of the population (the same size as Sendai City), and the consumer population itself is decreasing.
In addition, the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan has created a high risk of infection in vocal music and other fields.
This raises concerns about the transmission of the high skills that have been cultivated.
Therefore, we would like to provide opportunities for the next generation to study through concerts and contact with the world's best singers and instructors. In addition, by combining the performance with lectures by experts, internet distribution, and interaction with customers via the internet, we will be able to please new people, have many people support us, and support the activities of the artists and the preservation of the ancient traditional skills of Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the world's greatest theater, for the future. In the end, it is an activity that enriches the hearts of many people.
