The Korea Times reports on a unique cultural event set to take place at Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul this autumn. Titled "Ballet x Sujecheon," the four-night production will feature over 90 performers combining traditional Korean court music with Western classical ballet. The open-air performance will run from October 2-5, starting each evening at 7 p.m. at Jipokjae, a two-story royal library that showcases a blend of traditional Korean and Chinese architectural styles.
The program, a collaboration between the K-Arts Ballet of the Korea National University of Arts, the Sujecheon Project, and the traditional performance troupe Yeonhui, will present Sujecheon, a legendary court music piece from the Baekje Kingdom, alongside classical ballet.
