These pictures are all from the Tang Dynasty Show. This show was designed to imitate as closely as possible an actual show enjoyed by the emperor of that time period. There is a mix of warrior dances, singing, instrumentals, and interpetative dance.
The dancing included fabric banners, elaborate costumes, and a large cast.
The crowd favorite was a gentleman who played a pan flute-type instrument which was designed to imitate the song of an oriole. (below)
The food was excellent, and the music was very good. If you go to Xian, I highly recommend this show, which was also seen on Samantha Brown's tv show. It is always wonderful to see period productions, because it helps you to envision life in ancient times. -Anna
