| Research Abstract |
This study is the historical investigation of the stage of Asakusa Opera, on the censored librettos. So far, the stage of Asakusa Opera was thought to be the simplified version of the original stage in Europe. But, the result from this study, the stage of Asakusa Opera was reconfigured as a uniquely Japanese musical play, for example, the Asakusa Opera writer add to new dialogues and scenes because the theater audience could enjoy it in the context of the Japanese culture at the time, or the actor divided a Grand Opera into several scenes and played one scene on one stage for to keep the law.
