During the 6-day Korean Lunar New Year holiday, a variety of performances including beloved musicals and introspective plays await audiences. The musical 'The Last Empress,' celebrating its 30th anniversary, depicts the life of Empress Myeongseong, Queen of Korea's 26th king, Gojong, and has previously been showcased internationally. Meanwhile, 'Werther,' based on Goethe's classic, marks its 25th anniversary with emotional music and minimal staging. Other highlights include 'The Man Who Laughs,' critiquing social justice and humanity based on Victor Hugo's novel, and plays like 'Death of a Salesman' reflecting on family and personal struggles. Traditional Korean performances, such as 'Mansedaegil,' and '2025 Festival' by the National Dance Company, offer experiences of classic Korean music and dance.
