LOCATION:
The Prambanan Open Air Theatre is located some 5 minutes away from Candi Prambanan itself. It is located some 20km to the east of downtown Yogyakarta or 40km west of Surakarta (Solo).

There is a special tour arranged by Yogyakarta-based travel agents that combine an afternoon visit to Candi Prambanan and then catch an evening performance at Ramayana Ballet Theatre.

DESCRIPTION:
Interestingly, after the marvelous and exquisite performance of Kumbakarno Leno (The Death of Kumbakarna), the host announced that the audience could get on-stage to meet the various casts of the theatrical show.

There was even a special session where you can gather all of the actors and actresses together for a nice group photo. I checked out the section where the gamelan instruments were kept. The musicians were no longer there. The star attraction of that night was probably the character of Rama himself (from which the epic name of Ramayana originates), who was waiting patiently to be photographed.

MY VERDICT:
Great theatre.
