Who is Tomotaka Okamoto?

Tomotaka Okamoto is a Japanese sopranist.

He graduated from Conservatoire Francis Poulenc with a first place award. He often dresses in a unique manner when he performs.

Tomotaka Okamoto was born December 3, 1976 in Sukumo, Japan. He is a “sopranista”, a male who has a female soprano vocal range voice. Most sopranistas and tenors vocalize in a falsetto technique; however, Tomotaka Okamoto is an exceptional “naturally gifted male soprano singer” who exhibits a soprano voice with the strong muscle and great breathing capacity of a man. He does not have a tenor or baritone voice like a general man; his vocal mechanism is that of a female sopranist. “My voice is like a contrabass with violin strings,” Okamoto uniquely explained.

His repertory is various; he sings castrato compositions in baroque time, opera, Japanese, classic, crossover, musical and pops. He collaborates with Japanese orchestras and artists and also overseas orchestras, such as the Moscow Philharmonic Symphony, the England Chamber Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and Prague Chamber Orchestra. He has solo concerts with piano in various parts of Japan and vibrates his voice.
