点评:My wife and I, along with two long-time friends, all of us senior citizens, booked this show along with the dumpling banquet through our tour company, Lumle. We really did not know what to expect.
We were taken to the theatre by our holiday guide and shown to our table inside the theatre. We had what I would call a premium view of the stage, with the table positioned side-on so that all four of us had a brilliant view. We were not too close to the stage and not too far away, with the table situated on the first level which afforded us an eye-level view.
Everything was set out for us prior to our arrival, as were all the other tables around us. There were quite large groups arriving and they all fitted exactly into the tables that were reserved for them, so the whole production was run extremely well. The staff were extremely helpful and made sure everyone got to their allocated seating. I don't remember any stairs, and if there were any, they were easy to negotiate and very few in number.
When we arrived there was already food on the table, which if I remember correctly was the dessert and salad items. The first drink was included and this was brought to the table immediately once we were seated and settled in for the show.
Then they began to bring the dumplings out in sets of three. They were all shaped differently, and there was a menu on the table that showed you, in English, what was in each dumpling. The dumplings were brought out in steamer trays, and this carried on, once we had finished the first tray, for another three trays. Then they brought out a plate full of dumplings, but by this time, still not having eaten the desserts on the table, we were absolutely stuffed.
The show was spectacular, full of traditional singing, instrumental music and dancing. The costumes were amazing, and the whole show was so professional and put together so well. It was narrated in both English and Chinese, so you knew exactly what was happening. I have never seen such a spectacular show.
Looking at the timestamps on our photos, we were in the theatre for two and a half hours in total. The cost was £260 for all four of us, which may seem dear, but it was definitely a night to remember and we would probably never get the chance to do this again. It is definitely a must-see. Given the amount of food and the amazing show, I would say it was good value for money.
We had the best night and would thoroughly recommend this banquet and show as a must-do if you are ever in Xi'an.
翻译:我和妻子,还有两位相识多年的朋友——我们都是年长者了——通过旅行社Lumle预订了这场演出以及饺子宴。其实我们完全不知道会有怎样的体验。
导游带我们前往剧院,并指引我们到剧院内的餐桌旁就座。我们坐的位置可以说是绝佳视角:桌子是侧对着舞台摆放的,因此我们四个人都能清晰地看到舞台上的表演。距离舞台既不太近,也不算太远。餐桌设在第一层,这让我们能够与桌面保持视线齐平。
在我们到达之前,所有餐桌都已布置妥当,我们周围的其他桌子也是同样情况。有不少人数众多的团体陆续到来,而他们都恰好能坐进为他们预留的桌位上,整个安排进行得极为顺利。工作人员非常热心,确保每个人都能找到指定的座位。我不记得现场有楼梯,即便有的话……他们很容易沟通,而且人数也很少。
我们到达后,桌上已经摆好了食物——如果我没记错的话,那是甜点和沙拉。第一杯饮品是免费的,我们刚坐下、准备好观看演出时,饮品就被端上了桌。
随后,他们开始以三个为一组的方式上饺子。这些饺子的形状各不相同,桌上还有一份英文菜单,上面详细说明了每种饺子的馅料。饺子是用蒸盘端上来的,我们吃完第一盘后,又陆续上了三盘。接着他们又端上一盘满满的饺子,但此时我们还没吃桌上的甜点,已经撑得再也吃不下了。
演出非常精彩,有传统的歌唱、器乐演奏和舞蹈。服装也极为华丽,整场演出专业度极高,组织得也十分出色。演出同时有英语和中文解说,因此我们能清楚地了解剧情发展。我从未看过如此精彩的表演。
从我们拍摄的照片上的时间戳来看,我们在剧院里总共待了两个半小时。我们四个人总共花费了260英镑,这个价格看似不便宜,但这绝对是个值得纪念的夜晚——我们很可能再也不会有这样的机会了。这绝对是一场不容错过的演出。考虑到提供的食物数量以及精彩的表演……我觉得物超所值。
我们度过了最美好的夜晚,如果您有机会来到西安,我强烈推荐这个宴会与表演,绝对不容错过。
