Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall (東京オペラシティ コンサートホール, Tōkyō Opera Shiti Konsāto Hōru) (TOCCH) is a concert hall that opened in the 54-floor Tokyo Opera City Tower in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, in 1997. It is part of a complex that includes Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery [ja], a recital hall, and the New National Theatre, as well as shops and restaurants. The hall's acoustic and architecture have been highly acclaimed by Yo-Yo Ma, András Schiff, Kent Nagano, and others. TOCCH is dedicated to the memory of composer Takemitsu Tōru, artistic director of Tokyo Opera City Cultural Foundation and concept adviser, who died before its inauguration.
