Nice air-conditioning show. Perfect way to get Get out of the Istanbul heat for an hour.
Awful - venue was hot and stuffy “Live” is really a stretch - the performers -2 -of them are hidden behind a screen the whole time. The video production and story telling was boring. Tacky. I think the only reason any google reviews are posted is because they force you into a queue at the end of the show to get you to post a review for a “free” magnet - and people just try to recoup 60 Lyra of their lost money and time for an equally tacky magnet.

I’ve expected more of a live show, less of screen viewing but it was very interesting show that showed me some legends about Istanbul.
"Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! 🌟 We're glad you found the show interesting and enjoyed the music and the legends of Istanbul. We appreciate your feedback regarding the balance between the screen elements and the live performance; we aimed to combine a multi-sensory digital art style with our live dancers to tell these historic stories, but we understand you were hoping for more stage action.
