A True Daughter of the Party (Korean: 당의 참된 딸; lit. 'To Truly become a Daughter of the Righteous Party') is a North Korean revolutionary opera. First performed in 1971, it is credited to Kim Jong Il. The opera is considered one of the "Five Great Revolutionary Operas", a group of classical, revolution-themed opera repertoires well received within North Korea. A True Daughter of the Party is the only one of the five set during the Korean War. It is performed with a male chorus, a smaller female chorus, with Western musical instruments, principally brass and strings.
