Anzac Day falls on the 25th of April each year. For this episode, Ms Ohtake picked ’War and Peace’ composed by S. Prokofiev. ’War and Peace’ was also the work chosen to inaugurate the Sydney Opera House Opera Theatre in 1973.

Ayako Ohtake, a Sydney-based Japanese soprano singer, hosts monthly music segment called VIVA! Opera for SBS Japanese.
