Legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away on March 28th, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. In the final years of his life, he could no longer perform live, yet in late 2022 he gathered all his remaining strength to leave the world one final gift: a concert film featuring only himself and his piano.

The twenty pieces, personally selected and arranged by Sakamoto, form a wordless musical autobiography—spanning his journey from the Yellow Magic Orchestra era through his iconic Bertolucci film scores to the meditative resonance of his final album, 12. Filmed intimately in a space he knew well and surrounded by his most trusted collaborators, the performance captures Sakamoto revealing his soul through music, fully aware that it might be the last time he could share his art. Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus celebrates an artist’s life in its purest form—a definitive swan song of a beloved maestro.
