 Theatre
Seoul's Youth section present 'Choon-Hyrang' a Love story from the Far
East. Choon-Hyang is one of
the most famous and beloved traditional stories from Korea.
The
beautiful opening scene of children playing and the lovers meeting was
initially sung in Korean then moved into English.
The sets costumes, music and dancing are all traditional and
spectacular whilst I admire the youngsters for learning English, in my
opinion it would have been better if the soundtrack was a little
quieter.
The
scene I enjoyed the most happened when the recorded sound failed and the
kids danced and sang unaccompanied. For me a little more traditional
Korean and a little less soundtrack would have been ideal but I applaud
and congratulate everyone involved for a lovely show.
