Arts-Culture 2026 Sanjo Festival Opens April 2 at Seoul Donhwamun Traditional Theater
On March 13, the Seoul Donhwamun Traditional Theater (KOR, ENG) announced its flagship brand performance, the "2026 Sanjo Festival." Built in 2016, exclusively for gugak (traditional Korean music performances), the theater takes its name from the gate of Seoul's Changdeokgung Palace, which it faces. The Sanjo Festival will run for three weeks, starting April 2. Launched in 2021 and held annually since, the Sanjo Festival has intensely spotlighted the depth and aesthetics of sanjo.
