Vocal Music Seoul National University

Overview

Key Features

The theatrical elements include scripts, actors, and the stage. Organization of the different elements, production needs along with the previously mentioned elements combined constitute, as a whole, a work of art. An opera that is staged by university students is called a "university opera." Although university operas are not high-budget productions and do not require hours of hard work and dedication, it is important for students to understand and learn what goes on behind the scenes. The main goal of the Vocal Music program at Seoul National University is to enhance the level of university operas and their study, thus raising the level of opera in the professional world.

After the founding of the Opera Institute, an operatic performance has taken place every two years with commendable reviews. These performances show what is required in order to put on a successful production. Up to now, there has been about one hundred productions. Many of these operas are performed in rural and other areas, where operas are rarely staged in order to popularize opera.
