This Korean traditional musical referred to as a "Wedding" is a hybrid musical, which includes western style music as well as a Korean traditional wedding theme performance with music, dance, songs, and comical acts.
That was a wonderful night to watch the Korean traditional wedding ceremony, which is touched by music and fun. The story begins with a touchy kiss between the friend of the bridegroom and the bride. The father of the bride is looking unhappy with this marriage and he used to show his grief at many occasions. The bridegroom and his friends tried their best to get the agreement of bride’s father but all in vain. Meanwhile the wedding team showed some great performance of musical art that was amazing. The anger of bride’s father is at extreme when the bridegroom is unable to provide wedding ring. However the friends of bridegroom succeeded in getting the agreement of bride father…… How they succeed in their mission..? You need to go and watch the “MUSICAL WEDDING”. You will find a combination of eastern and western music coated with Love, anger and amusement…... And Yes The Character of “SEXY BOY” is the Hottest scene of the show and I am sure it will make you smile….:)

The “Wedding” is a regular performance, held daily, which has a combination of acrobatics, ballet, acting, and more. What is unique about this musical performance is that it focuses on Korean traditional culture mixed with lots of humor and fun

Unhyeon Palace Romance-2

It was yet another fantastic opportunity from KTO to explore the traditional Korean version of the opera, Unhyeon Palace Romance-2, presented in a form of Pansori. Honestly speaking, in beginning it seemed a bit boring, but it get my attention after a few minutes. The story is presented my 6 talented performers and it reminds me the traditional storytellers of my home town who used to sit in the moon lights to tell the stories of our forefathers and brave people of our nation.
I took this picture as soon as i enter the hall, yet they told me taking pics are not allowed.
Every performer was a master in his/her field as they have complete vocal commands on playing their part. Subtitles were displayed on the sides of the stage in many languages, but it was hard to look at the translation as the wall surface was  a bit rough and it was difficult to catch all the words. However, the amazing skills of the performers made I easy to understand with their verbal and nonverbal communications. They presented the performance with lots of humor to make it even more enjoyable. It tell’s basically the history of  Pansori, its development in various stages of life, people’s likness for it through Chae-sun’s, a famous artist. Besides this, it enlighten’s the culture, history, development and general behavior of people of different ages in Korea.
 Guro arts valley theater was a new place to explore which was quite interesting. There was a festival in progress which was an additional source of fun for me and my family and the free food and beverages made our day..:)
