The Seongnam Cultural Foundation is preparing a special event to conclude the year with music and share hopes for the new year with citizens on December 31.
According to the foundation on November 11, the '2026 Seongnam Arts Center Year-End Concert' will take place at 7 p.m. at the Seongnam Arts Center Opera House.
This year's performance has expanded from the concert hall to the opera house, featuring the Seongnam City Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hong Seok-won, pianist Lee Jin-sang, and the Phantom 3 Tenors, including Kim Min-seok, Jin Won, and Jeong Philip, who gained fame from JTBC's 'Phantom Singer.'
The first half will open with J. Strauss II's 'Overture to Die Fledermaus,' followed by Lee Jin-sang's performance of Rachmaninoff's 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.'
In the second half, the Phantom 3 Tenors will present major arias from operas such as 'Carmen,' 'Tosca,' and 'Rigoletto,' along with familiar Italian songs like 'Torna a Surriento' and 'Song of the Morning.'
The concert will conclude with Dvořák's 'Carnival Overture,' aiming to energize the audience as they welcome the new year.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 2 p.m. on December 12 through the Seongnam Cultural Foundation's website and Nolticket, priced at 60,000 won for R seats, 40,000 won for S seats, and 20,000 won for A seats.
