THE CHUNHYANG (Romantic Comedy Opera, 90 Min)
The Chunhyang is a modern romantic comedy opera inspired by the classic Korean folktale The Tale of Chunhyang. In this reimagined version, Chunhyang is no longer a passive heroine waiting for rescue — she takes matters into her own hands and escapes from prison. The story is full of unexpected twists, turning traditional roles upside down. Byeon, the satto (magistrate), is a surprisingly romantic and sincere man, while Mongryong is a perpetual civil service exam student with little direction. Blending witty dialogue, slapstick humour, catchy melodies, and vibrant Korean dialects, this opera delivers a light-hearted yet empowering message. With its fusion of opera, musical, and theatre elements, Chunhyang redefines a beloved tale through laughter, charm, and bold reinterpretation.
