For 13 years, Casa da Música’s Educational Service has been visiting Tokyo’s Bunka Kaikan theatre to train professionals and audiences so that the work done in Porto can be replicated in Japan. In December, on the last of the 22 training trips already completed, there were more than 1,000 spectators in attendance. And today, there are already 22 Japanese trainers providing educational services at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
