À Ố Show - at Saigon Opera House Vietnam


Let's experience the unique Vietnamese culture with À Ố Show - at Saigon Opera House Vietnam


 


THE UNIQUE WAY TO EXPLORE VIETNAMESE CULTURE


Hello from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

My name Duy who is currently working for Ocean Link Travel Vietnam - the destination management company based in Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon), Vietnam.
My main duty is as Local Expert for destinations in Vietnam and especially in Saigon. Being a travel adviser I love offering the real Vietnam to our expat clients. We create the unique tours which make sure that the clients can get a understanding about real Vietnamese culture; local cuisine; Vietnamese art performance ....
I have been asking by the clients that what activities/shows in Saigon at night I will recommend ?
The answer is there is a number of activities in Saigon at night depending on the clients ' favorite.

Some of recommendation tours:



  • Vietnamese Cuisine with Water puppet show will be offered to the clients love enjoying local food and our traditional art show
  • Cruise Dinner along Saigon River which they will get a fantastic experience of Saigon by night
  • Or another option will be offered for someone prefers contemporary style, we will introduce the combined package Dinner and 360 Saigon View by telescope on the rooftop of Bitexco building which is the highest building in Saigon
However, if you ask me what is "The Unique Way to Explore Vietnamese Culture" ? I strongly recommend A O Show at Saigon Opera House

"À Ố Show is a new kind of art performance commonly acknowledged globally as [new circus]. The show surpasses all the limits that was previously constructed by many other art shows in Vietnam over the years. Audience is offered the opportunity to let loose their imagination once they are set off by the visual creation and lighting of each performance. The word “amazed” does not even begin to describe it the moment the audience see themselves walking on a small walkway of the sweet and breezy Southern Vietnam, wondering pass the surging dunes of the Southern Central only to find themselves ended up in front of a lotus swamp. Every now and then audience can hear echoes of a southern chanty and the traditional music of “Don Ca Tai Tu”. All the details that are portraited and recorded of the show reflect the spirit of the Vietnamese people and their heritage.
The chastity of bamboo, basket boat and its use in the daily life of many Vietnamese are leading visuals for the show. À Ố Show has no script, no climax and no sequence. During the 60 minutes of the show, the audience is gently introduced to many different tones of emotion as some may see flashes of their own reflection through the vivid yet poetical render. À Ố Show may still be within the path of pursuing perfection but it does take pride in providing audience an hour long of peace, comfort and serenity mixed with astonishment and joy. It is almost as if the audience were captured in a Vietnamese dream of life, survival, love and everything else in between
