For Toshio Hosokawa's latest opera, Oriza Hirata has written a libretto based on the Noh play Futari Shizuka [The Two Shizukas]. In this work, the departed spirit of Shizuka Gozen, or Lady Shizuka, possesses the body and soul of a young beautiful refugee girl who made it to the Mediterranean Sea, and sings her sorrow for wars and hateful disputes.
This opera is sung in both English and Japanese. Futari Shizuka was conceived as a companion to Hosokawa's monodrama The Raven and can be programmed alongside it to create a full evening of opera.
