Excursion A o show & dinner tour at Ho Chi Minh
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
The elegant architecture of the Saigon Opera House was constructed at the turn of the 20th century as a classical Opera House for the French colonists, in 1955 it was transformed into South Vietnams Assembly Hall and after many renovations it is now a prominent building in Ho Chi Minh City.
Today it houses shows such as the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet and Symphony Orchestra but more recently it is a perfect venue to watch the locally famous A O show, a unique blend of bamboo cirque, acrobatics and theatrical visual drama which depicts the beauty of Vietnam lives in villages and cities alike.
After enjoying a welcome drink in the foyer of this impressive building settle down and enjoy the show. After the performance spend some time speaking to the director and some of the cast and an opportunity to have photographs taken with them.
From here continue to one of the best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Cuc Gach, where a six courses dinner awaits. This cleverly renovated old villa will offer you an organic menu of the very best Vietnamese delicacies.
