Nutcracker Concert with Toy Instrument Orchestra
Business Overview
This orchestral concert reconstructed Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite with an original arrangement that included toy instruments. In addition to classical instruments such as violin, cello, and flute, a variety of unique instruments were used, including a toy piano, glass harp, dulcitone, musical saw, and empty can drums, creating a mysterious and nostalgic sound world.
The venue was the classical music hall in the Ginza Lion Building, a registered tangible cultural property. In a nostalgic space that retains the original interior from when it was first built in 1934, a comprehensive performing arts event was held that combined music with video (Shinbaru Shinta), dance (Colorpointe), puppetry (Mano Toyo and Suzuki Kazunori), puppet making (Hayashi Yumi), costumes (Masaaki Ichihara & HappyChild), and stage decorations (SAKUnoTORIDORI).
Starring Kyoko Ishigame, Eri Ohashi, Kenji Kondo, SACHI, YOSHIE AKAI and others.
