Narita-san Takigi-no

This annual event is held on the day before the third Sunday of May. Komyodo hall stands behind the main hall of Shinshoji temple. Noh play and Kyogen (Noh farce) are performed on a special stage set up in front of Komyodo hall by the Ume Waka troupe.
Ticket is available at here or here.

The first Takigi-Noh is performed after the sun has sunk below the horizon and the temples are shrouded by the evening darkness. Two bonfires are lit to illuminate the stage and are positioned between the audience and the performers. The atmosphere is boosted by music coming from the stage and the swaying flames add emotional expression to the Noh masks, transporting the audience into a world of mystical beauty.
