The New National Theatre Tokyo is Japan's premier venue for opera, ballet, and contemporary dance, opened in 1997 in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. Its three performance spaces — the Opera House, the Playhouse, and the Pit — host a season of Western-repertoire opera and ballet alongside Japanese contemporary works. The theatre has become a vital bridge between European and Asian performing arts traditions.
