1/01/2010 - 12/31/2010Traditional Korean Narrative Songs
Seoul,
South Korea
The National Theatre of Korea provides monthly opportunities to experience traditional Korean narrative songs or 'pansori'. In this traditional art form, sometimes rather misleadingly called 'Korean Opera', a narrator may play the parts of all the characters in a story, accompanied by a drummer. Don't expect to follow the story, but the dramatic effects and the contrasts with western operatic singing are interesting.
