About
À Ố Show is one of Vietnamese Bamboo Circus performances. À Ố - derives from Làng Phố, which means ‘village and city’. À Ố Show tells a captivating story of the transition from the peaceful life of the countryside to the fast-paced metropolitan life of modern Southern Vietnam. The soul of village life and, in stark contrast, familiar scenes from the city, are beautifully brought to life -- with bamboo! The stunning simplicity of the bamboo props frames an awe-inspiring circus featuring acrobatics, contortion, juggling, and stunting. Throughout the show, both traditional and modern music harmonize richly, performed live with 17 musical instruments. À Ố Show has become a world-renowned circus, critically acclaimed in 11 countries.
Duration: 1-2 hours

    Please don’t miss this world class event
    This absolutely professional production is amazing. Two couples went last night and we are still talking about it. The tour of the opera house is worth the effort as well. So thought provoking as they show the changes in Vietnam over the past hundred years or more. This is one of those life events that stay in your memory for ever.

    Amazing show!
    The AO Show in Ho Chi Minh City is a mesmerizing display of Vietnamese culture and art. Combining traditional music, acrobatics, and dance, the performers create a stunning spectacle that captivates the audience from start to finish. The use of modern technology, including 3D mapping and LED lighting, adds an extra layer of visual impact to the already impressive performance. The show manages to strike a perfect balance between traditional and contemporary elements, making it a must-see for anyone interested in Vietnamese culture. Overall, the AO Show is an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impression on its audience.

    Brilliant dynamic exciting performance for all to enjoy.
    I’m a theatre lover and maker and I can easily celebrate this as world class physical performance. Brilliant skills, exciting vision and sound humour and rich narrative that was easy to grasp regardless of langage made this pure joy. The Opera House is a beautiful building and we were welcomed with a tour and iced tea. Utterly delightful to walk from hotel and appreciate the City. Congratulations Lune for AO show. A must see for all ages.

    Someone on another tour recommended this show circus style with a bit of everything thrown in was very enjoyable only lasted an hour. We where staying just around the corner some easy to get to free welcome juice on arrival 5-10 minute tour prior to show. Reasonably priced for a show.

    Stunning, breathtaking and so entertaining - a must do experience.
    If there had been 10 stars to rate this experience I would have used all ten stars!! An absolutely mesmerising production that we wanted never to end. Such talented young people providing the audience with an unforgettable experience in Ho Chi Minh. A must do experience!!

    A MUST visit when in Saigon!
    It was an amazing experience. firstly, the venue was amazing, the Saigon Opera House is steeped in so much history. just being able to go inside and sit where so many others have sat, watching a show, was a thrilling experience. Next the actual show, the performers made full use of the stage, the surrounding areas. though in Vietnamese, knowledge of the language is not necessary, as the performers, by virtue of their showmanship,, were able to expertly guide the audience through the stories they shared. Every movement was carefully planned out and it played out perfectly. it was like watching the best of traditional and contemporary Viet Nam on stage. Hats off to the artistes, writers, directors and crew for the mind-blowing performance!

    Well worth seeing!
    A great show to go and see. Firstly a fantastic and historic venue. The show is a combination of acrobatics and dancing (the ad describes it as partly like Cirque de Soleil). The hour passes by quickly. We bought the cheap tickets up the very top and to the side, but found these to be quite good (and cost effective). Would recommend this show.

    Amazing cultural experience at the opera house
    While staying in HCMC, I got the opportunity to see this incredible performance at the opera house. It takes you on a journey across time through different aspects of Vietnam and the diverse culture of the Vietnamese people. The different emotions that are woven into the story will move you. If you are a fan of the performing arts, please don't miss an opportunity to see this performance while visiting Saigon.

We booked 3 weeks in advance 2 tickets (50$ ) for o a show. Our fly was 24h delayed so we write a mail for changing our tickets for a new date but received no answer. When we arrived at Ho chi minh, we came to the luneproduction office but they just accept to do 20% reduction on news tickets, no refund, no exchange possible, even with proof of the delay of our fly by airline attestation! So, don t reserve tickets in advance by internet!

Dear mel2018263, Thank you very much for the review. First of all, we would like to express our most sincere apology if the experience disappointed you. We completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable regardless of any circumstances. These Terms and Conditions which were advised and required to acknowledge by the time of booking. We are sorry if our solution did not meet your expectations but your case was recored as a No show situation and the seats were held unchanged during the whole performance. Moreover, after checking, we found no email from you besides the one that asked about the E-ticket and our team responded right after receiving it. We are not sure if your second email was sent to the right address or due to any internet corruption, it didn't reach us properly. Again, we are so sorry for the experience but we had done the best we could to support you. We seek for your kind understanding in this matter. Kind regards, Lune Production Team

Wonderful gymnastic production called Bamboo. The performers used bamboo baskets to perform on. From our seats in the loge, we were able to see the foot work of the dancers.
This was a cross between Cirque Soleil and a ballet. Good for all ages.

We went as a family to see the Bamboo Circus. A thoroughly enjoyable show presenting the change of Vietnamese life from a quite countryside to the busy city it is today. Amazing artistry as well as humor and comic throughout. Incredible skills by the performers. Definitely make it part of your night out!

The show itself was fantastic and planned to execute within a millimetre; each and every person involved plays a key part with passion.
It's a varied show that lasts only an hour but keeps you well entertained with tricks and stunts.

Note: avoid shows that have block bookings; tourists that aren't so interested but have it on their itinerary won't be upset at spoiling the show for others by talking or being on their phones trying to take videos or photos. At the end of the night these same people will scramble to push past everyone to have their photos taken with the cast pretending they were so invested throughout the whole show to infuriate those that weren't given the chance by them.

Watched AO show ten years ago and remembered being utterly impressed with it.

Watched it at Hoi An too but the one here at Saigon just felt funnier and more impactful.

Watching it ten years later with our kids now and they loved it too, especially the "inverted tortoise". Loved that the new version added new interactive elements, where the performers interacted with audience and got some audience participation.

What can be improved?
With the renovation going on, the waiting/holding area where they were giving out complimentary drinks before the show has been pushed to the balcony side of the theatre. Being a dead end, it was a little tight with audiences intuitively wandering towards the balcony / dead end after getting their drinks, wondering where they should head to. Some audiences with second floor seats did not know where to head to, too. It was made more confusing as some audiences collected alcohol, while others wondered if those were complimentary. We stood there for a while and observed that the waiting area was a little chaotic.

Maybe a clear indication of the two types of tickets (i.e. alcohol versus non-alcohol) and a map of direction/ traffic flow printed on the back of the ticket would help.

Great show by fantastic artists and athletes although a bit overpriced compared to broadway or West End shows and especially so compared to prices for most things in HCMC (a high end dinner for example).

I note that Lune productions read all the reviews so I’d use this opportunity to advise that seat C1 on the first floor has a damaged seat cushion that makes it very uncomfortable to sit on for an hour and as well, line of sight is poor as you miss things. I’d suggest floor level seating away from the edges to those planning to go.

If you are looking for a "different" night out this is absolutely worthwhile. Having watched many Circle de Soleil events this production appeared some times a little slow. You will however enjoy the many acts by the very disciplined group in this beautiful opera house.

I don't like Cirque de Soleil and this is not that. These men and women do amazing acrobatic things with baskets and poles. The show is only about an hour. I sat in the 'Wow" section which is lower balcony but wish I'd gone for the cheaper seats right in front of stage. Not a dull moment

Much better than anticipated. I went in expecting a low budget knockoff of a Cirque du Soleil show but was blown away with the talent and creativity of the performers. Although the entire length of the show, coming in at a little more than an hour, may sound short, there was so much going with all the various vignettes that it felt like an appropriate length.
