For one night only, this spectacular performance will inhabit the Royal Albert Hall in a production bursting with character, bringing together movement and music presented within an ornate aesthetic. Returning to the Hall 130 years after the Khon was performed for Queen Victoria, this unique performance is perfect for those who love Thai culture or are ready to be entranced and entertained by a centuries-old artform. Artistic traditions passed through the generations come alive as over 60 Thai performers, and their stunningly beautiful costumes, bring Khon to London.
