The country's top classical musicians and dancers will relive the glory of the days past by getting back to their roots in Myeongdong Theater.
The theater in downtown Seoul was the hotspot for the local arts and culture scene until the mid-1970s, having been Korea's National Theater. It was built in 1934 during Japanese colonial rule (1910-45) and had featured shows by such renowned artists as veteran actress Choi Eun-hee and singer Yoon Bok-hee.
It was renovated into a modern art space last year ― though still retaining much of its classic exterior ― and fetes the first anniversary of its reopening on Saturday.
For the big birthday the theater has invited the country's top artists, beginning with esteemed pianist Shin Soo-jung Thursday evening.
