This weekend I visited Seoul Arts Center...this is the Opera House, which next weekend will become home to none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera"...the following is some interesting info about the Opera House obtained from another website: The Opera House, characterized by a traditional top-hat-shaped roof and a lower section which resembles a human sitting with his legs crossed, is the compact embodiment of the entire Center. The first and only Opera House in Asia, a seven-story building with one floor under and six above the ground is composed of Opera Theater for operas, Towol Theater for plays, Jayu Theater for more experimental productions and backstage. Praised for its absorbent power and intimacy between the stage and the audience, the Opera Theater houses about 2,300 seats.
