Synopsis

[Performance Introduction] As a video presentation of the Seoul Arts Center's excellent performance content, the romantic comedy opera *Chunhyang Escape* will be screened at Bongnae Hall of the Yeongdo Culture and Arts Center. *Chunhyang Escape* is an opera that offers a modern reinterpretation of the well-known story of Chunhyang. It adapts the classic characters and freshly incorporates stories from the present day. It is a new-generation *Chunhyangjeon* that evokes laughter by strategically placing humor and wit throughout. Chunhyang does not simply wait for Mongryong to return from prison; instead, she sets out to find him herself. It is fine even if Mongryong does not pass the civil service examination. This is because true love does not come from conditions. The Chunhyang of old exists only in the examination! The Chunhyang of today takes active responsibility for the love she has chosen. It is characterized by combining the musical perfection of opera with theatrical comedic elements, while remaining grounded in Pansori and classical literature. It is structured so that even audiences who find traditional narratives difficult can enjoy it without pressure, and it is a work that is approachable even for those encountering opera for the first time.
