The Year of The Metal Ox

The will be a mask changing act, a fascinating performance with its roots in the Sichuan opera, that will take place every day at 2:08 p.m. and 9:38 p.m.  This highly unique and enthralling act involves a performer in brightly coloured costume changing masks - which depict characters from the opera, almost instantaneously to fast-paced, intense music.  The technique behind the lightning-fast mask changes is a closely guarded secret, and the mystery of it adds to the excitement of the show.

The dinner set menu is priced at AED248 per person.  Children aged between 6 and 12 years old can enjoy the occasion for half-price, while younger children dine for free.  An A La Carte menu is also available.
