Stunning 1897 French colonial opera house on Đồng Khởi hosting AO Show and classical performances.

About this place

The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City, commonly known as the Saigon Opera House, is a stunning example of French colonial architecture. Built in 1897, it hosts the acclaimed AO Show — a breathtaking bamboo acrobatic performance that fuses traditional Vietnamese culture with circus arts. The building itself is worth seeing from outside.

💡 Local Tips

Book AO Show tickets online in advance — it often sells out. Evening shows start at 6pm and 8pm.
