Classical opera and dance concert halls Seoul 서울

This large complex, a Korean cultural stronghold, offers an excellent program: traditional, classical or popular music, ballet, musicals, theater ... you will find your happiness! The biggest Korean and international names have already performed there.

It is particularly appreciated by the public because it offers them perfect acoustics. Indeed, it benefits from a system that allows it to be completely soundproofed from street noise. If you have the time and the opportunity, go and attend a program, you will be delighted!

This is the best place to see a traditional show in Korea. The artists who perform there are students of the National Institute of Classical Music, or "Human Cultural Properties", outstanding artists protected as part of the cultural heritage.

The program, which changes every week, is truly varied. From formal court music to peasant folk dances and kayageum (horizontal harp) solos, the program features the purest Korean art.

It is actually one of the oldest theatres in Seoul, built in 1934 during the Japanese occupation. It still preserves the baroque style, especially in its exterior. Until the 1970s it was one of the busiest theatres in the whole of South Korea. But following the construction of the Korean National Theatre in 1975, the Myeongdong Theatre ceased its artistic activity and was rented out. The theatre mainly programmes plays of drama, dance and music.
