[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] The Se-Ai Unhyung Cultural Foundation announced on the 17th that it will hold the '2022 Se-Ai Unhyung Cultural Foundation Concert: Opera Lucia di Lammermoor' at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall and will release it online via YouTube at 7 p.m. on the 26th.

This performance is the seventh regular concert of the Se-Ai Unhyung Cultural Foundation, established to carry on the spirit of the late Chairman Lee Unhyung of SeAH Group, who cherished and supported opera during his lifetime.

Lucia di Lammermoor is a representative work of Donizetti, a master of bel canto opera, praised as "the brightest jewel of bel canto" for its depiction of various human emotions and tragic love, Donizetti's unique elegant and lyrical melodies, and the climax arias represented by the mad scene.

Stephen Karg, an associate professor at the Eastman School of Music in the United States, known for his sharp insight and outstanding interpretation of works, will direct the opera, and media designer Charles Murdock Lucas will present cutting-edge designs rarely seen in previous performances.

David Lee, a Se-Ai Unhyung Cultural Foundation sponsored artist and deputy conductor of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, will conduct the Korean Symphony Orchestra. The performance will feature top vocalists including soprano Jenny Hauser, with a sweet tone, baritone Kang Hyung-gyu, tenor Kim Beom-jin, and bass Jacques Borichevski, all gathering to create an ensemble.

A foundation official said, "In accordance with Chairman Lee Unhyung’s wish during his lifetime, we have prepared this stage to provide opportunities to enjoy opera and expand its base. We express deep respect and gratitude to all the artists who have done their best despite the difficult conditions due to COVID-19, and we hope that the beautiful resonance and comfort conveyed by art will be fully delivered to all viewers."
