The strong and positive audience reaction to the new musical, "Il Tenore," has led to a rerun just a month after the two month-long premiere concluded on Feb. 25. Additionally, the musical led Seo Kyung-su, who plays the lead role of Yun I-seon, a medical student with a passion for classical singing, against the backdrop of 1920s Korea during the Japanese colonial occupation, to volunteer to do an interview.
The new musical Il Tenore, which depicts the rise of Korea s first operatic tenor under the 1910-45 Japanese occupation of Korea, marks a significant step forward in Korea s musical theater industry.
Prepare to be transported to the turbulent 1930s in Korea, an era marked by vigorous independence movements and artistic defiance, as the highly anticipated musical Il Tenore takes to the stage at the CJ Towol Theater of the Seoul Arts Center from Dec. 22 to Feb. 25, 2024.
