IFAC proudly supports music and theatre through various global partnerships including world class performances with Opera Australia and Japan’s oldest theatre art Noh.

In Australia, set against its stunning backdrop, Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour continues to redefine operatic theatre and the imaginative spaces in which art can be performed.

In Japan, Noh theatre is performed incorporating traditional masks, costumes and various props, in a dance based cultural performance, drawing on its 14th century heritage.

Originating in the 14th century in Japan, Noh is a form of theatre involving music, dance and drama. It is the oldest major theatre art that is still performed today and incorporates masks, costumes and various props, in a dance based performance.

IFAC Founder, Dr Haruhisa Handa, also known as Toshu Fukami in the arts world; is a great advocate of the preservation of Noh theatre. Through his efforts, he has contributed to the resurgence of Noh, both in Japan and overseas.

IFAC has hosted or supported a multitude events across the globe, at spectacular venues such as the United Nations, the Great Sphinx of Giza, Angkor Wat and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
