Traditional Korean dance and musical performances can be a memorable part of visiting Korea. These performances can be seen each Saturday at the Korean Traditional Performing Arts Center.
Court music is slow, solemn, and complex.
It is also performed regularly at the National Theater. Korean mask dances are silent folk dramas. They are usually satirical tales of people in high society at the time these dances were developed over 200 years ago. They also contain many Buddhist and Shamanist elements.
