Absolutely amazing experience with a picturesque backdrop. Make sure you spend that extra little more and get the VIP seats. We booked well in advance and had the front row, which was a game changer in terms of the experience we had. Thank you to the whole team at Ramayana Ballet for an amazing ballet performance.

The one hour+ show was fully satisfied me overall & the theatre staff was good and helpful overall. I’m coming during raining season and they change the show to indoor and had a bad experience with the ticket counter person. He was double standard which is only allowed foreigners (Bule) at special row seat eventho I’m paying for VIP ticket. The man ticketing staff bit rude and mentioning seat at very front was full instead they reserved for white skin people which is soo unprofessional though I was coming almost 2 hours before show start. I don’t know why this mentality still has in this place. You guys better check on this.

The event was captivating. All of the dancers were dancing all out and their expression was top notch. Unfortunately the screen had a bit of damage. I hope the management will fix the issue. The overall experience was great. However if you want a full experience, I suggest to watch the performance between may-october as you will enjoy it in an outdoor setting

Attending the Ramayana Ballet at Prambanan is an enchanting experience that encapsulates the essence of Javanese culture and artistry. The open-air theater provides a unique backdrop, with the magnificent Prambanan Temple illuminated under the night sky.

As the performance began, I was transported to the world of the Ramayana, an epic tale of love, devotion, and valor. The intricate costumes, graceful dance movements, and traditional Javanese music created a mesmerizing spectacle. Even though I was familiar with the story, seeing it come to life in such a grand and artistic manner was truly captivating.

One of the highlights of the evening was the portrayal of the characters, particularly Rama and Sita, whose love story forms the heart of the Ramayana. The emotions conveyed by the dancers were palpable, drawing the audience into their world of trials and triumphs.

However, I would advise future visitors to plan for the weather, as the performance is held outdoors. It can get chilly at night, so bringing a jacket or shawl is a good idea. Additionally, consider reserving seats in advance to ensure a better view of the stage.

In conclusion, the Ramayana Ballet Prambanan is a cultural gem of Yogyakarta, offering a captivating journey into Indonesian mythology and dance. It's a must-visit for those seeking a unique and immersive cultural experience in the heart of Java.

Best to read the synopsis before watching it if your general education course did not include this beloved Asean epic. I came hoping to be mesmerized (the theatrical spectacle) and found myself appreciating more the physicality and the ‘durational’ nature of it. Be open. This is to say: its slowness might bore others.

A rare treat with the Prambanan Temple as background —grand & luminous enough to transport one into another time & world.

unique experience if you are around and have time. With the views of Pramanan, you will see a tradicional asian ballet. Bring your phone and scan the QR code to read the synopsis and 'follow' the representation.

How does watching a vibrant light, dance, story telling show with a lot of drama after sunset with a view of the Prambanan Temple complex in the world sounds to you? If that peaks your interest, you will love this show!

Try to book in advance if you can, because the shows are only available 2 days a week and the good seats Tickets will get sold out quick. You can contact them directly on WhatsApp and make a reservation or also book online. There are 4 categories of seats, from best to worst: VIP, Khusus, Class I, Class II. Given that the ticket of the show doesn't come cheap, I chose Class I category, and I think it's the one that makes most sense given the price and it's good location

The show itself is intense story telling, you have to concentrate on the story which is translated in English on a screen, but if you get distracted, it would be hard to follow up, this happened to me. I nevertheless enjoyed the visual part of the show. You can see that the performers are talented and passionate about this. I didn't enjoy the music very much and I thought the show was a bit too long for my liking, 2 hours

As an overall experience, it's a very special show and I think it's a must do after your visit of the temple complex
