Apsara Theatre in Siem Reap, established in 1997 by Angkor Village Hotel, is the city’s oldest dedicated venue for Khmer cultural performances. Housed in a beautifully restored wooden pavilion infused with classic colonial charm, the theatre features an intimate dinner-show format where guests enjoy a traditional Cambodian meal before being treated to graceful Apsara dances, folk dances, and enacting of legends from the Reamker, all accompanied by live orchestral music. With a troupe of around 30 skilled performers trained in traditional hand gestures, costumes, and storytelling, the performance offers an authentic cultural experience rooted in Cambodia’s royal dance heritage. Souvenir booklets explain the symbolism behind each dance, enhancing understanding, and the setting’s warmth—with low tables and comfortable cushions—creates a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Conveniently located on Wat Bo Road opposite the hotel, the venue is a perfect choice for those seeking an artful blend of cuisine, narrative, and performance in a refined setting. For anyone eager to immerse themselves in Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage in a meaningful, well-produced format, Apsara Theatre delivers a memorable, sensory evening.
