Business Overview
The so-called "Figaro Trilogy" consists of The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro and The Sin Mother. "The Barber of Seville" (composed by Rossini) and "The Marriage of Figaro" (composed by Mozart) are based on the same play by Beaumarche and have many characters in common; however, due to the difference in the way of thinking of each composer, even the same person has a different range of voice, and it is seldom seen that one singer plays the same role. However, in this work, titled The Barber of Seville's Marriage, the Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro are reassembled as a memoir, and the two works are recreated as one work. □ Direction: Shimotetsu Tao/Jun Ieda □ Music Director: Takuya Nemoto □ Performers: Tsuneya Muramatsu, Toru Onuma, Sachie Konno, Kiyoko Yamaguchi, Shuhei Itoga, Yasuhiro Yamamoto, Takashi Yonashiro, Hiroshi Kuroda, Makiko Kame, Sonoka Daigo, Emma Aoki, Akiko Goie, Daihisa Mito, Yoko Hayashi, Miki Isochi, Masashi Mori, Yuihiro Masushima, Piano: Ayako Takada, Takako Yazaki

Profile
[Tao Shimotetsu Theater Company]
This organization's philosophy is "Pursuing the "artistry" and "sociality" of contemporary Japanese performing arts through practice against the backdrop of the world's performing arts scene". In terms of artistry, the theme is "the creation of new classical works that can be performed 100 years later," and the aim is not to create works for temporary consumption, but to create works that are universal throughout the world. In terms of social aspects, we emphasize not only the performance but also the "process" of creation, and develop activities with an awareness of how to interact with society. He is committed to the development of the performing arts by creating high-quality works, focusing on opera, musical theater and straight play.
