  A dazzling world of magical strange adventure. Please come to the theater with the excitement and thrill like experiencing an attraction. The vibrant city, the wide expanse of grassland, and the terrifying labyrinth (dungeon) are all presented with full visual and aural effects, making each scene a moving, three-dimensional experience. Come and join Aladdin on his magical turban for an adventure. The musical "Magi" will take you to a magical world.

    Aoyama Operetta, a new mixed-media project co-produced by Cybird, Avex Pictures, and ABC Rights Business, was revealed in Japan on September 15. It is introduced as "a new type of mixed-media theatrical content that crosses two dimensions and three dimensions."

  The story of Aoyama Operetta is set at an all-male theater troupe based in Aoyama, Tokyo, which has unique actors who have mastered every genre, such as theater play, opera, and ballet.

  Synopsis:

  Based in Aoyama, Tokyo, Aoyama Operetta is a venerable theater company with a history spanning more than 100 years, consisting of only young, unmarried men. Because of its origins, it is characterized by the fact that female roles are also performed by men. Joining the traditional Aoyama Operetta is a longing for actors all over Japan. The story begins when Asahi Miyajima, who is an amateur in acting, singing, and dancing, joins the company as its memorial 100th year student and is selected as a member of the new team "Nova."

    Teaser PV:

    Asahi Miyajima (female role): Ryoki Nagae (22/Rampo Edogawa in Bungo Stray Dogs stage plays):

  Takao Sai (male role): Yuki Nakayama (vocal group SOLIDEMO member):

  Noe Sakurai (female role): Yuta Osumi (Hiroshi Yagyu in The Prince of Tennis musicals):
