Visiting Chinese opera troupes awakened an interest in Korean sung drama. The novelty was based on the <i>pansori<\/i> tradition. C<i>hangguk<\/i> was originally performed by professional, male and female <i>pansori<\/i> singers. According to the Chinese stage conventions, no stage d\u00e9cor was used.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century the Royal Theatre in Seoul employed famous <i>pansori<\/i> stars for its <i>changguk<\/i> productions. The troupe was dissolved and performances were given again after 1910. Then the productions employed an illusory d\u00e9cor, inspired by Western theatre. Besides the traditionally folk epics that belonged to the <i>pansori<\/i> repertoire, new plays were also adapted for <i>changguk<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>New Trends<\/h2>\n<p>Western stage realism became fashionable in Korea in the 1930s. The scenography of <i>changguk<\/i> productions became more dominating and the Western-trained theatre directors also added realistic, spoken dialogue to their productions. The following two decades are seen as <i>changguk\u2019s<\/i> golden age.<\/p>\n<p>The productions gradually became increasingly grandiose, partly because of the growth of the theatre buildings. All the folk epics in the <i>pansori<\/i> repertoire were dramatized for <i>changguk<\/i>, while new dramas were also created. Finally large dance and chorus scenes together with the heavy d\u00e9cor swallowed <i>changguk\u2019s<\/i> original intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 14%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-32 gallery-columns-7 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/disco.teak.fi\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kor36.jpg'><img width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/disco.teak.fi\/asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kor36.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-531\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-531'>\n\t\t\t\tOriginally, <em>pansori<\/em> was rather intimate in character <span>Jukka O.
