    (Translated by Google) Very impressive. A sublime cultural learning center, with an air-conditioned building & 3 very cheap ticket options compared to the values โ€‹โ€‹obtained. Incomplete to the Solo area, if you don't visit here (Original) Sangat mengagumkan. Pusat pembelajaran budaya luhur, dengan gedung ber AC & 3 pilihan tiket yang sangat murah dibandingkan nilai2 yang didapatkan. Tidak lengkap ke wilayah Solo, jika tidak berkunjung ke sini

    I spent the weekend in Solo and it was very difficult to find activities other than culinary here. I finally checked solo social media if there was a wayang orang show here. The ticket price is only IDR 10,000. I saw the show starting at 19.30 WIB, arriving there the new show started at 20.30 WIB until 00.00 WIB. The show was very interesting, but 'cause I don't understand Javanese, it was very difficult for me to understand the storyline but I enjoyed the show. A simple place like a multipurpose building, there is ample parking and toilets. I suggest having dinner first before watching. Disability access is very easy.

    It's wonderful that something like this still exists A bit out of date but it's wonderful that something like this still exists. The story is simply easy to understand and a wonderful gammelan orchestra. On the left there is a screen that also writes the story in English. Nice actors, everything a little bit amateurish. But please preserve this forgotten art. But please mark the access and at least make the road passable. The toilets are particularly bad. Please replace and maintain for hygiene reasons.

    Wow, what a treat! ๐ŸŽญโค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ŠA beautiful authentic performance of wayang wong untainted by the usual tourist nonsense. Please visit and support this troupe of artists as they continue to perform one of the peaks of this Javanese artistic tradition - accompanied by a full gamelan band - all for 10K ๐Ÿ‘บThis should be on any touristโ€™s itinerary in Solo ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป I also sincerely hope that the the youth of Indonesia collectively take note of the amazing heritage they have, and be inspired to create a great civilisation once moreโ€ฆ rather than spending most of their free time in capitalist malls and westernised coffee shops staring blankly into their mobile phone screens๐Ÿ“ฑ

    They do daily shows starting at 8PM and have different plays each day. The set and costumes were colourful and performance exquisite. Though you won't understand the lines if you don't speak high Javanese but it is still an enjoyable night out experiencing the gorgeous local culture. Tickets for VIP seats are only 10k Rupiah and it can get pretty crowded on Saturdays. Air conditioning can be an issue but nothing that a handheld fan can't solve. Definitely a must if you're in the city.

    My most favourite place when I go to Solo. They're just some incredible artists who try to safe Wayang Orang Sriwedari on this modern day. Even now there is dispute between Solo's Government with person who claim about Sriwedari's land. Last time I visit it, it costs Rp. 10.000. Very Cheap

    A traditional Javanese play, more similar to Peking opera, consist of dance, singing and martial art sequence. Expect two hours playtime. A slow pace show. The show doesn't have narration aside from Javanese language, expect going lost in translation ๐Ÿ˜…

    It is located inside the Sriwedari Park which is being renovated, so you must enter from the back entrance which will have a sign of โ€œPintu Masuk Wayang Orangโ€. The show is in high Javanese and there is no English translation of it. There is a slide in Indonesian, though, which contains the synopsis of the story. I came on Saturday and it has a comedy section which features Gareng, Petruk, and Bagong. The ticket is Rp10.000,00 for VIP, Rp7.500,00 for Class II, and Rp5.000,00 for Class III/Balcony. The show starts at around 8 pm and you might want to come earlier because the VIP section sells out fast. Overall, it was a pleasant cultural experience which was worth to try if youโ€™re in town. People might look down on seeing wayang but you should try, especially if you understand Javanese. The set design and the building was above my expectation, although it could be a little hot inside.

  • 5/5 Sari P. 11 months ago on Google โ€ข 8 reviews
    This traditional Javanese dance-drama, with a remarkable history spanning 112 years, offers a profound and immersive experience. The ticket price of 10,000 rupiah makes this captivating cultural experience highly accessible. Starting at 19:30 and lasting for three hours, the performance ensures ample time to delve into the captivating narratives and witness the incredible artistry of the dancers. BUT it's important to note that the performance is entirely in Javanese without any English subtitles or detailed Bahasa translation. To fully appreciate the show, speaking or understanding the language is beneficial. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this cultural gem and embark on a soul-stirring journey through Javanese legends. Immerse yourself in Wayang Orang at Sri Wedari Park and discover the beauty and depth of Javanese culture. Your visit will contribute to the preservation of this invaluable tradition for generations to come.

    Put on a wayang wong show. There are proper toilets. If you want to see the show schedule, just check their IG. To watch, there are usually tickets. But at that time there was no charge for going there htm because I arrived late so I was welcome to come in at the parking lot, just pay for parking at that time

  • 5/5 Nisrina S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the highlight of our trip in Surakarta! Definitely would recommend this to people eager to see and experience Javanese culture and arts. The ticket was incredibly cheap (10k for a 2 hour performance... For comparison, we paid 100k for a 1 hour gamelan performance in Ubud, Bali). However, the quality was amazing for that price. Don't let the dark and poorly lit entrance deter you (something to improve for the management team). This is a must-see in Surakarta.

    (Translated by Google) The Wayang Orang building in the form of a traditional Joglo house is usually used for Wayang Wong or Wayang Orang performances as well as dancing competitions. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to watch the puppet show some time ago on vacation to Solo. Hopefully next time you will get that opportunity. Here is usually the place for the night blackjack tradition, which is a thanksgiving to welcome the last ten days of Ramadan. At the Sriwedari Park pavilion, the blackjack night is usually enlivened by a thousand tumpeng ceremony. (Original) Gedung Wayang Orang berbentuk rumah adat Joglo ini biasanya digunakan untuk pertunjukan Wayang Wong atau Wayang Orang dan juga lomba menari. Sayangnya belum sempat nonton pagelaran wayang orangnya ketika beberapa waktu lalu liburan ke kota Solo ini. Semoga di lain waktu dapat kesempatan itu. Di sini juga biasanya tempat digelarnya tradisi malam selikuran, yaitu syukuran menyambut sepuluh hari terakhir bulan Ramadhan. Di pendopo Taman Sriwedari, malam selikuran biasanya disemarakkan dengan acara kirab seribu tumpeng.

Ticket price 10 thousand (Original) Makin hari makin oke. Tiap masuk Ada petugas berbaju beskap yang nganter ke tempat duduk.
