“A Birthday Celebration at Berliner Philharmonie” by Akiko Umegaki

A Birthday Celebration at Berliner Philharmonie

On March 15, we gave a performance at Berliner Philharmonie in Germany, which is home to one of Europe’s leading orchestras, Berlin Philharmonic.

The theater is pentagonal and the concert hall is a sphere-like realm where the stage and audience areas feel connected. The stage is surrounded 360 degrees by seating so people watched our performance from unique angles that are rarely possible at other halls.

March 15 is cast member Eri Uchida’s birthday, so we celebrated her special day before the performance!

Lovely Eri continues to develop as a performer all the time, so be sure to keep an eye on her!
