Tuong Art is a long tradition of the Vietnamese. Every character on the stage draws a mask to symbolize the character of the character they are performing. Each color on the mask symbolizes the personality and role of the character. White face (beautiful face, calm...More

Overrated.

Perhaps my perception would have been better had I gone at the right time. I did try to ascertain when the much talked about performance was to be; however, did not come across anyone who could help comfirm it. There is of course an opportunity...More

During a tour of the Ancient Town we watched a traditional music show in Hoi An. There were local artists singing, dancing and playing traditional instruments. The show went for approximately 30 mintues and was well worth the time spent. The Vietnamese local artists should...More

Brilliant ! Get there early to get a seat near the front

Of the 22 sightseeing places in Hoi An Old Town this is far and away the best. Like a lot of things in this region the arrangements are not always clear ;-) If you have bought the (5) Old Town tickets you can use one...More

Great taster of Vietnamese culture but get there early

This is an excellent free show in the old town and gives a taster of some of the different musical traditions of the region. I particularly liked the singing "bingo" caller which reminded me of the Spanish Gordo Lottery in Spain, the numbers of which...More

Use a ticket here

Get here early. If you think you will get a seat 5 mins before the schedule cultural performance you will be wrong. Was standing room only. Terrific dance/music show. Highly recommend.

You can stop by here with your ticket to enter Hoi An ancient city. Although a lot of the sites within the old city were disappointing we found this performance to be very soothing. The musicians playing are very talented and the dancers are fun...More

Additional Charm in Hoi An

To compliment Hoi An's charm, Xu Dang Trong has daily music and art performances. There's a lady that explains each performance beforehand so you don't get lost in translation. I think it's worth a visit in addition to the various activities in Hoi An. I...More
