Korean Traditonal Stage A Real Treat

When visiting Seoul make sure you go and see the Traditional Korean Stage at the Chongdong Theater. This is a great way to see and hear the instruments and music that are a part of Korean history.

The theater is very intimate with seating for just under 300 people. Their is only one show per day and tickets are more readily available on weekdays than weekends. There are two types of seats A and S. The only difference besides the price is that the A seats are off to the side while the S seats are center row. But, you can get a front row A seat which is a good as an S seat for $10 less and there isn't a bad seat in the house so save your money.

While you can't take pictures duirng the show which lasts just under 1 1/2 hours, the performers go outside where you can not only dance a little with them but have your pictures taken with them as well.

One word of warning, the music can be very loud especially when the percussion instruments are being used. So if you are sensitive to loud noise, you may want to bring along some earplugs.
