The Empress of the Great Tang is a Tang-style performance of song and dance staged at Tang Dynasty Palace in Xi’an. You can book the tickets to enjoy the ancient etiquette, ceremonies, music, dance and other cultural things in Tang Dynasty as well as to learn about the main activities of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history.
You will not distinguish between the reality and illusion it creates, for the performance presents a three-dimensional vision that allows video animation to interact with realistic performance.
You can enjoy the Dumpling Banquet before the performance, but you should pay for it and get there two hours earlier. The steamed, fried, roast, boiled dumplings, etc. will be offered.
There is also the Royal Court Dinner one hour before the performance, which is the only Tang-style banquet in China. You can pay some extra money on it, thus you can experience the court life of the Tang Dynasty.

The show was fantastic - I can only recommend it if you’re in Xi’an.
Everything is arranged for tourists/visitors, but still it is a great experience. The level of musicians and dancers is very high. Very glad we went
We also asked by email for the address in chinese in order to show it to the taxi driver and Amber answered almost instantly, making it way easier for us to get there.
