The Nguyen Hien Dinh Theater is Da Nang's home for tuong — Vietnam's traditional opera form, characterised by elaborate face paint, stylised movement, and stories drawn from Vietnamese historical epics. Tickets run around ₫50,000–90,000 ($3–4 USD) and performances are scheduled most evenings. The art form is an acquired taste for foreign visitors but genuinely unusual — worth going once if you want something beyond the standard tourist circuit.
