What is the 'Nodame Cantabile' Story Live Orchestra
This performance is a reading-meets-orchestra event of the popular manga 'Nodame Cantabile', which fuses classical music with human drama. Centered around the original story from the formation of the R☆S Orchestra to the success of their concert, the climax will be grandly decorated with 'Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 (all movements)'.
Original anime cast members, including Ayako Kawasumi and Tomokazu Seki, will perform recitations recorded with an original script that can only be experienced here, expressed alongside the original manga illustrations.
In addition, led by conductor Kenshiro Sakairi, the Tacticart Orchestra—a young musicians' collective active domestically and internationally, garnering attention for their high performance quality and innovative programs beyond conventional boundaries such as 'Ping Pong Concerto Concert' and 'SHIN SERIES'—will recreate the realistic performances reminiscent of the original work.
Furthermore, the production is directed by Takuma Suehara, the leader of the theater company Obonro, who handles the script, direction, and acting for all their works. Recently, he has expanded his activities domestically and internationally, directing and writing scripts for external stage plays and reading dramas like 'club Catteria', 'Sangokushi Engi ~Son Go~', and 'Kulm Fairy Tales'. Under the theme of fusing music, story, and visuals, this concert offers an experience where you can fully immerse yourself in the world of 'Nodame'.
Conductor's Comment
Kenshiro Sakairi (Conductor)
'When the Nodame Cantabile anime aired, I was a high school student. I remember like it was yesterday how obsessed I was with my friends in the orchestra club at the time. I am looking forward to co-starring with everyone in the Tacticart Orchestra, who feel like the embodiment of the R☆S (Rising Star) Orchestra from Nodame!'
