A Korean Take on a Classic
Set to music by Adolphe Adam, the production is based on Marius Petipa's classical choreography. Song Jeong-bin created the new choreography, Jeong Da-yeon handled the dramaturgy, and Kim In-gyu handled the composition and arrangement.
The story of the corsair Conrad and Medora combines adventure, romance, virtuosic solo roles, and large-scale ensemble scenes. The performance runs for 120 minutes and has an age rating of 7+.
