Le Narval – Un Verre d’Amitié
(The Narval – A Toast to Friendship)
Co-production: Hanuri Opera Arts Company and Radio France Choir Soloists
(In production)
French-language music-theatre work.
Commemorating the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, the work reimagines a true story from 1851, when the French whaling ship Le Narval drifted to the Korean island of Bigeum and local villagers rescued its sailors.
Rather than a tale of conflict, this forgotten episode reveals how the first encounter between the two nations began through compassion and humanity — revived here as a poetic reflection on friendship and empathy.

Co-production: Romancha Ensemble
