LOVE IS like a drug. First of all, everyone craves for it oncehaving tasted it. Whether it is love between parents andchildren, male and female, friends, it is all the same. Commonsense is that people love to be loved. However, the damage thatcomes when love is gone is huge. Some go crazy because theycannot bear the sorrow of losing their loved ones. Some desperatelytry to forget their past by dramatically changing their lives. Thedeeper the feeling, the more hurtful it gets. At one point in life,many people ask themselves, “Why do I love someone in the firstplace when I can be so hurt?” The musical Oh! While You wereAsleep suggests an answer to this question.

OPERA IS often perceived as an elite genre of performance arts enjoyed by the wealthy. Many peopleconsider operas to be incomprehensible because the songs and the dialogues are in Italian. Whenthe audience are not captivated by the songs or do not understand the plot, they will findthemselves bored and lost throughout the long performance. However, The Barber of Seville may change anyaudiences’ prejudice of dislike for operas. The director, Park Kyung-il, has adopted a new genre called“Mucpera,” a combination of musicals and opera. This innovative fusion captivates the audience with the bestof both genres, allowing the opera to accommodate all audiences to enjoy, not just the elites.
