Children's Opera in Dongjak-gu: Enjoying 'Carmen' and 'The Magic Flute'

Dongjak-gu, Summer Vacation Special ‘Opera Seen Through Movies’ Performance

On the 9th, free audience participation performances including Carmen will be offered to families in Dongjak-gu

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Ilha) will hold a free performance of 'Opera Seen Through Movies' with families on the 9th at 11 a.m. at the Wonbulgyo Sotaesan Memorial Hall Sotaesan Hall (75 Hyeonchung-ro).

'Opera Seen Through Movies' is the second special project performance this year as part of the Dongjak Art Challenge project promoted by the district and Dongjak Cultural Foundation.

The audience will enjoy representative pieces such as the operas Carmen and The Magic Flute, as well as songs featured in movies, and learn about Italy’s representative song, the 'Canzone.'

The local cultural arts group ‘Lab ABC’ will perform, and during the performance, a docent service will be provided where the host explains and interprets the pieces to help the audience’s understanding, making it an ‘audience participation and communication type performance.’

On-site registration is only available for cancellations and remaining seats, and the performance is open to those aged 8 and above.

For more details about the performance, please visit the Dongjak Cultural Foundation website or contact the Dongjak-gu Cultural Affairs Team.

In May, in line with the image of ‘Child-Friendly City Dongjak-gu,’ a performance for children titled ‘Exciting Opera Journey’ was held and received great response, selling out in just two days.

Mayor Park Ilha of Dongjak-gu said, “I hope this summer vacation will be an opportunity for children and families to enjoy opera performances and experience various cultural arts,” adding, “We will continue to expand opportunities for cultural enjoyment as a cultural city.”
