Performance

Part 1 "Looking at Cherry Blossoms and Autumn Leaves"/New Operetta Kyogen "Yubikiri"


The streets of Nakanomachi on the main street of Edo Yoshiwara are crowded with people who love the crimson Satozakura (cherry blossoms).


When the Oiran of Omise Kikyoya pledged her love to her customers, she cut off her pinky finger and handed it over to gain the trust of the customer. Deception and wisdom comparison with customers who question the courtesans who repeatedly cut their fingers.


This is a comedy comedy that takes hints from rakugo's ``Sanmaikisho'', ``Akedori'' and ``Gonin mawashi''.


Look forward to the popular Oiran Dochu.


Songs: "Fuyajou Yoshiwara", "Kitsune no Utage" (both from Oiran Opera "Kaen"), "Absolute Queen", "Make me cry" Please" (from the opera "Rinaldo"), "Bad Sailor's Song" (from the opera "Sorrowful Sirena ~Forbidden Love~"), "Laughter and Spend Boogie", "Today is Single", "La Japonese" "other



Part 2 "Unkin" New creation "Unkin no Mai


It begins with the appearance of Shirabyoshi Dochu from Agemaku.


The pattern in the preface of the Kokin Wakashu, in which the mountain cherry blossoms of Yoshino in spring are drawn as clouds and the autumn leaves flowing in the Tatsuta River as brocade, is called Unkin Monyo.


The shite who fell in love with the nobles who were exiled to Suma no Ura, the stage of Noh "Matsukaze" and "Suma Genji", went backwards Under the transparent cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, we will dance "Unkin no Mai" to say our last goodbye.


The collaboration of the string quartet, the musicians, the shite's dance and the Italian chorus of the jiutai chorus gracefully blends together, centering on film music, and invites the Noh theater into a different world.


Songs: "La Califa", "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso", "Amore Say To", "Nella Fantasia", "Scarborough Fair", "Titanic", "Ai no Hymn", "Seeking You", "The Broken Thread" (both from the opera "Sorrowful Sirena ~Forbidden Love~"), etc.
