[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) will premiere the online performance 'MMCA Live x The Phantom of the Opera' on the MMCA YouTube channel and Naver TV at 4 PM on the 12th.

'MMCA Live x The Phantom of the Opera' is the first online performance presented in collaboration with the world tour team of 'The Phantom of the Opera,' marking a first for a domestic art museum. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a legendary musical that has been seen by 140 million people worldwide. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the world tour has been temporarily suspended, with only the Seoul performance continuing.

The performance is set against the backdrop of MMCA Seoul and features representative songs and behind-the-scenes footage from the three lead actors of 'The Phantom of the Opera' world tour.

The first song, "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," showcases the enchanting voice of Claire Ryan (as Christine) resonating through the museum courtyard. This is followed by the duet "All I Ask Of You," a love song confirming mutual affection between Claire Ryan and Matt Lacy (as Raoul), and then Jonathan Roxmouth (as the Phantom) passionately sings the Phantom’s theme song, "The Music Of The Night." Additionally, viewers can enjoy a vivid piano performance video by music director David Andrews Rogers.

The performance, capturing the beautiful scenery of the urban museum MMCA Seoul and the vivid voices of the three lead actors of 'The Phantom of the Opera,' will be broadcast live on the MMCA YouTube channel for about 30 minutes starting at 4 PM on the 12th.

'MMCA Live' is an online performance series prepared by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in anticipation of the post-COVID-19 era. MMCA plans to continuously present online content with various artists suited to the characteristics of its four branches (Seoul, Gwacheon, Deoksugung, and Cheongju).
