[해석]

얼마 전 뮤지컬 <알라딘>을 관람했는데, 그 화려함에 완전히 압도되었습니다. 그동안 봤던 공연들과는 차원이 달랐습니다. 배우들의 뛰어난 연기력은 물론이고 화려한 의상과 신나는 군무 덕분에 공연 내내 심장이 뛰었습니다.
가장 기억에 남는 순간은 단연코 알라딘과 재스민 공주가 마법의 양탄자를 타고 밤하늘을 날아다니는 장면이었습니다. 주제곡 <A Whole New World>가 울려 퍼질 때, 마치 저도 그들과 함께 나는 듯한 황홀한 기분을 느꼈습니다.
도대체 어떤 특수 효과를 썼길래 양탄자가 그렇게 자연스럽게 움직이는지 너무나 신기했습니다. 공연이 끝난 후에도 한동안 여운이 가시지 않았습니다.

 

[Response]

I recently went to see the musical Aladdin, and I was completely blown away by how spectacular it was. It was on a whole new level compared to any show I'd seen before. The actors' performances were fantastic, and my heart was racing from start to finish thanks to the gorgeous costumes and exciting group dances.
The most unforgettable moment was, without a doubt, the scene where Aladdin and Princess Jasmine fly through the night sky on the magic carpet. When the theme song, A Whole New World, started playing, I felt almost as if I were flying along with them. It was a magical feeling.
I was fascinated by the special effects they used to make the carpet move so naturally. Even after the show ended, the feeling lingered for a long time.
