Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka's all-female troupe originated in 1913; male roles ('otokoyaku') are prestige positions requiring years of training in vocal pitch and movement.
Moon Troupe was known as the 'Takarazuka of beautiful angst' — this production cemented their gothic reputation after Shibuki's legendary final performance.
