"Kurenai Tennyo" opera lasts about 3 hours. The plot is the same as we all know from volume 40 but it adds some details to the ending that weren't shown in the manga.
Isshin recover memories and remembers his fate. He cuts down the sacred plum tree, killing Akoya / Kurenai Tennyo.
However their souls will be always together.
Years later, as we know, Isshin wanders around Japan as a nameless bonze, carving statues that bring good luck to the villages he visits.
