Thang Long Water puppet theatre, Hanoi tourist attractions, Hanoi tours Vietnam travel guidesAlso knowm as the municipal Water Puppet Theatre, this is possibly the best place, not just in Hanoi, but in the entire country, to see performances of the traditional art of Roi Nuoc or Water Puppetry. The showmanship is excellent as master puppeteers make extensive use of dramatic music from the traditional orchestra and startling special effects, such as smoke, firecrackers, and water-spraying dragon puppets to create a lively performance. At the end of the show, the bamboo curtain behind the watery stage rises to show the puppeteers, standing waist deep in water. Seats closest to the stage provide superb opportunities for photography.
