Ramayana Ballet Purawisata

It is a great show. I enjoyed each scene of it even it is quite long performance, 7.30-9pm. Worth to watch. The lady explains in English for the story before dancers start the performance. They also offer buffet for dinner you can reserve before the show.

This is the best thing you can do in Yogyakarta. The meal is excellent, the show has everything— pyrotechnics, well choreographed classical dancing, harmonious music, stunts, and you can even take photos with the actors after the show! Get your camera out for the scene in which Hanuman burns Lanka! I happened to be with a really lame group of people from a G Adventures tour (and they didn’t join me for this—I had to fly solo). Shame they missed out Either they thought $28.45 for a buffet dinner and 90 minute show was too expensive or they simply wanted to get drunk at bars rather than see a once in a lifetime performance (?) Whatever. Their loss. Don’t make their mistake. See this!

An absolutely outstanding Ramayana performance. I was completely mesmerized by their creative fire performance, which was totally unexpected and breathtaking. So many elements of the show were surprisingly beautiful and unforgettable. Sadly, there were not many Indonesians in the audience to witness this cultural masterpiece. I 100% recommend experiencing this in person. I'm proud to be Indonesian and grateful for the chance to witness such incredible artistry live.

Nice show, i watched Roro Jonggrang story n got the front seat. The dancers spoke in bahasa indonesia n the narator spoke bilingual ( indo n english). A bit dissapointed cause they didn't speak javanese n there was no some gending java. It would be great eventhough i can't understand all of it. Maybe for another story i will come back. Thank you for the discount ticket.

Great show, great buildup to the ending which was very thrilling and loud. Definately a must watch. Theres a restaurant there but during the rainy season there were many many bugs.

I’ve been wanting to watch the Ramayana Ballet for ages. But since the Prambanan tickets were already sold out, ended up getting the ones at Purawisata instead. Ticket prices are different for locals and international visitors. Unfortunately, the middle seats were allocated for foreign tourists. If you’re interested, there’s also a buffet package so you can come earlier for dinner. Tbh, we arrived late, but thanks to the guide who sped up the registration process, we didn’t have to exchange tickets and could head straight into the venue. As for the Ramayana story, it’s pretty familiar if you’re Javanese, but still entertaining. It would’ve been more informative if there were bilingual narrations on one side of the stage, so people unfamiliar with the story could follow along. Overall, I’d definitely come back again for another story ✨

Very interesting and cool performance. I enjoyed watching the traditional dance storytelling - I would recommend. Staff were very kind too. There is a cafe/restaurant on the site but our tickets included a small mineral water which is thoughtful.

Being from India, this was a visual treat to watch Ramayana story Being told in Javanese style. If you are visiting Jogja do not miss it. You can also watch similar show in Prambanan temple bit this is inside the city. For center seats you may want to book early especially in peak season
