Founded in 2017 by maestro Hiroko Sato, the 'SATO Opera Group' delivers diverse performances—from Grand Opera Galas to semi‐staged selections. Celebrated for numerous productions, the group aims to preserve and promote opera’s cultural heritage. In December 2023, UNESCO recognized Italian opera singing as a part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage. The group has expanded with a Workshop and Choir, united in their mission. Each performance is uniquely crafted to suit the specific venue and allotted time.
