The Saigon Opera House, or City Theater, was originally built to entertain Saigon's growing middle class during the French colonial period. This can be called a miniature copy of the Hanoi Opera House, built from 1901 to 1911 and shaped like the Garnier Opera House in Paris with 800 seats. This beautiful structure owes its characteristics to the work of the famous architect Félix Olivier when built under the supervision of two architects named Ernest Guichard and Eugène Ferret in 1900. According to the style Far from the "brilliant" side of the French Third Republic, the theater was built two meters above street level with two layers of doors to block out traffic noise. From the inscriptions to the furniture, all were painted by a French artist and the applied decorations, railings, cartouches and roofs were all imported from France.

A great way to experience the historic Opera House is to book an AO Show. A O - originates from Lang Pho, meaning 'village, city'. A O Show tells a fascinating story about the transition from the peaceful life of the countryside to the fast-paced urban life of modern South Vietnam. The soul of village life and a stark contrast to the familiar scenes of the city, are beautifully recreated with bamboo. The stunning simplicity of the bamboo props creates an awe-inspiring circus of acrobatics, contortions, juggling and acrobatic performances. Throughout the program, traditional and modern music blend richly, performed live with 17 musical instruments. A O Show has become a world-famous circus, highly appreciated by critics in 13 countries.
