Veteran actor Jeong Dong-hwan, known for his 57-year career in acting, is set to make his opera debut with the Seoul Opera Company's rendition of "Faust" at the Sejong Center in April. In an innovative approach, this opera performance will incorporate theatrical elements, creating an "oplay" that merges opera and play. Jeong will perform the role of the older Faust, guiding the audience through the opera's complex themes of good and evil. With a runtime of nearly three hours, including breaks, this production aims to make opera more accessible to audiences unfamiliar with the genre.
