  2. 2Get a written quote

    We check real availability for your day and send the price per person, exactly what is included and the suggested time for your show.

  3. 3Confirm, with nothing paid upfront

    You pay nothing before you confirm the quote in writing. Any changes to timing, transport or extras are folded into the same quote.

  4. 4Enjoy the experience

    The day before, you receive the meeting point or pick-up time, and our team stays on hand 24/7 on WhatsApp in case anything changes.

Good to know / what to bring

  • Arrive at the Opera House at least 20–30 minutes before the start.
  • Smart-casual dress is fine; the theatre is air-conditioned, so a light layer helps.
  • Tickets are issued for a specific date and seat; tell us any change as early as possible.
  • Photography rules are set by the venue; follow the staff's instructions.
  • Tell us the ages of any children so we can advise on suitability.

Schedule and duration

Each performance lasts about one hour. Lune Production alternates its shows, so on a given evening you may find À Ố Show, Teh Dar or no performance at all. We check the official schedule for your exact date before quoting. Evening performances are the norm, which makes it easy to fit dinner before or after the show.

À Ố Show or Teh Dar: what is the difference

Both shows come from Lune Production and share the same ingredients: acrobats, bamboo and a live band playing traditional instruments. The themes differ:

  • À Ố Show draws on village life in southern Vietnam and the contrast between countryside and fast-growing city, with bamboo poles and woven baskets turned into stage sets and acrobatic props;
  • Teh Dar takes its inspiration from the cultures of the Central Highlands, with a darker, more rhythmic mood shaped by gongs and highland music.

If both are running during your stay, we can help you choose — or book both on different nights.

The Saigon Opera House

Built in the early 20th century, the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House is one of the city’s best-known landmarks, a short walk from Dong Khoi Street and many District 1 hotels. Seeing a show here is a good excuse to step inside the building. Make an evening of it with a Saigon River dinner cruise on another night, or explore more with our Ho Chi Minh City tours.

Who it suits

The performance needs no knowledge of Vietnamese: the storytelling is visual and musical, so it works for all ages and nationalities. It suits couples, families with older children and groups looking for a cultural evening that is short, central and easy to combine with dinner.
