“Super Angels
Creative art director Shizuka Hariu and video by WEiRDCORE deserve credit for all the visual splendours…This was a true multimedia event bringing together a plethora of visual and aural stimuli – all largely very engaging, and pushing the boundaries of opera as a contemporary, cutting-edge art form.
