Outline

It was ten years last year since we lost YAMAMOTO KIYOKAZU, our beloved playwright and director. This year we pick up his work and inspect and think over his view as ‘ theater of common mass’ once again. Theater RAKU, well-known as a unique senior theater, whose outstanding performances have attracted and been loved by many people both in Japan and abroad, perform Yamamoto’s Midsummer Night Dream ( the original by Shakespeare ). You will enjoy Asakusa Opera Oldies, nursery rhymes, lullabies, popular songs and also our original music.
