Albanian Night Show: Traditional Music, Dance & Dinner in Tirana

2.Albanian Night Show: Traditional Music, Dance & Dinner in Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 431 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $53Top rated

Spend about two and a half hours at Albanian Night in Tirana, where live folk music, wedding and funeral scenes, traditional costumes, circle dances, and regional dishes introduce you to Albanian customs. The show is hosted by a friendly local team, with Leka singled out for his warm, comic style. Dinner and dietary requests require advance checking.

“the performance of the traditional Albanian dances are interwoven into important events of a person: wedding and funeral and in a very humorous way so the full range of emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy and betrayal etc are expressed in music and dances. The performance of each actor are topnotched mournful singing at funeral is heartbreaking and touching. They only thing less satisfying is the food is cold. They tried to mix all the traditional food in one setting which is nice, if only they are hot.”
