Immersive Opera "KABUKI x Pagliacci"! March 7 & 8, 2026, at 1 PM in Shibuya's Konno Hachimangu Shrine!
Experience a groundbreaking immersive opera—Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci (The Clown) reimagined as the story of a Kabuki troupe—staged within the sacred grounds of Shibuya’s historic Konno Hachimangu Shrine.
Presented by More Than Musical, this innovative production transforms the Italian classic into a powerful cross-cultural narrative, blending the emotional intensity of opera with the elegance and theatricality of Japan’s Kabuki tradition.
In this production, the audience is drawn into the world of a traveling Kabuki troupe, where the boundaries between performance and reality dissolve. The iconic play-within-a-play becomes a Kabuki drama performed by the troupe itself—complete with traditional movement, music, and dazzling costumes—creating a deeply emotional and multisensory theatrical experience.
Performed in the intimate and atmospheric setting of Konno Hachimangu Shrine, founded in 1092 by Emperor Horikawa and located just steps from Shibuya’s iconic scramble crossing, this work invites audiences to experience opera in a new dimension—where Italian passion meets Japanese artistry in a living cultural encounter.
