Created by Tomoko Ninomiya as a manga, and serialized both as an anime and live action drama series, Nodame Cantabile is the quirky love story of two very opposite people, Megumi Noda (Nodame), a talented, lovable but eccentric piano student and the arrogant, perfectionist Shinichi Chiaki. The lush score and quaint illuminations of each classical piece in the serials and the subsequent films were credited with re-awakening interest in classical Western music in Japan.

The star of the movies remains the music itself as Nodame Cantabile offers a spectacular orchestral score, turning movie theatres into virtual concert halls. Throw in plenty of laughs, tears and emotion and you get a spectacular climax to a growing legend that promises to settle once and for all the question of what lies ahead for Nodame and Chiaki.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the film with your tickets. In the event of a fully-registered screening, unclaimed seats may be released 10 minutes before the start of the film on a first-come-first-served basis.
