On Stage in DaejeonOpera: ToscaThursday 2nd - Sunday 5th October 2008 [DJAC]

.
The Deajeon Center for Arts and Culture is proud to present as part of its Grand Festival for 2008 a performance of Puccini's Opera Tosca in celebration of the composers 150 birth anniversary. As the Australia's ABA has noted, "Tosca is grand opera, done grandly. Puccini's famous drama packs an enormous emotional punch in three acts, and is a classic of the stage for good reason. Tosca is nail-biting thriller, tragic love story, and legendary betrayal all rolled into one, requiring vocal and acting talents in equal measure."

The three artisitis were associated with the so called t'ong guitar movement' which was a form of Korean music developed in the early 1970s. It was heavily influenced by American pop music, and artists in the genre were considered Korean versions of American folk singers, such as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. The musical form originally started as a solo singer-songwriter performing with an acoustic guitar. It was allied with student movements of the 1970s in song clubs such as "Maeari" at Seoul National University and in Norae Undong ("Song Movement"), caused the embracing of popular genres by Korean intellectuals. Serious academic inquiries in Korean popular music started in 1984, and continue today [wikipedia]
