Busan Convention & Visitors Bureau and Busan Regional Maritime Affairs & Port Office will host a variety of performances (classic, traditional Korean music and plays) every month until October at the Marine Cultural Space, at Yeongdo Lighthouse in Taejongdae.

 

The Marine Cultural Space, established in 2004 at Yeongdo Lighthouse and the first of its kind in Korea, is gaining a lot of popularity by hosting exhibitions and musical performances. The Marine Cultural Space includes public convenience facilities – a marine library, marine images, a Natural History Exhibition Hall and Observatory, and also the See & Sea Gallery and an outdoor stage.

Visitors can watch cultural performances on the outdoor stage while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery in Taejongdae. These will include a Gayageum ensemble in June, Busan Metropolitan Pops Orchestra in July, traditional Korean music in August, a classical concert in September and fusion gukak (Korean traditional music) in October. All are scheduled to be held at the Outdoor Stage by Yeongdo Lighthouse.  

 

As part of the Busan Port Festival, a play about life in a fishing village is also scheduled to be performed in May 29 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the Outdoor Stage at Yeongdo Lighthouse.
