💡 Tips for Visitors

Performances run nightly at 18:00 and 19:00 (closed mid-July to mid-August), so book tickets in advance during peak seasons. English pamphlets and audio guides are available to help you understand each performance. The venue is compact, so arrive 15-20 minutes early to get good seats as seating is generally first-come, first-served within ticket categories.
