오페라 Medea & 한국무용

10월22일 토요일.

오늘은 브런치를 먹고난후에 먼저 영화관에서 보는 라이브 멧오페라 Medea 를 보러갔다. 이번 오페라는 스토리가 심플해서 이해하기 편했다. 오페라를 보고 나오는길에 따스한 햇살아래서 커피한잔 마시고...집으로 돌아왔다. 저녁을 먹고 다시 저녁에 하는 한국무용공연을 보러갔다. 그런데 학생들이 연습한것을 발표하는날같은 수준이라 생각보다 별로다. 나는 아주 전통적인 한국무용을 모아서 보여줄거라고 생각했는데..마치 코비드동안 줌으로 연습해서 나온 사람들이 무대에 선것 같았다는....

Medea prays to the dark gods to aid her revenge.

Act III

As a thunderstorm breaks, Neris delivers Medea’s gifts to Glauce. Medea plans to kill her two sons to inflict pain on Giasone but can’t bring herself to take their lives. She hears sounds of lamentation inside the palace as Glauce dies an agonizing death, poisoned by Medea’s gifts. She is now determined to complete her vengeance. A crowd gathers outside, and Giasone rushes in, desperately searching for his sons. Medea emerges covered in her children’s blood, and Giasone falls to the ground in despair as the temple is engulfed in flames.
