    Good experience
    Experienced this theathre performance from GuangXi Institute of Art about Bountiful Harvest of Baiyue. This is the first rotating theathre i ever had. It is a memorable experience. However the ticket price is a bit high, but worth to watch.

    The Bountiful Harvest of Baiyue at Encore Melaka
    Just came back (Sunday 3.30pm) from a mesmerising 80 minute theatre and acrobatic performance of 60 very talented artists from Guangxi. The breathtaking stunts and dazzling aerial together with an awesome rotating stage (Southeast Asia permanent show theatre seats 2000) makes for an incredible experience. The show itself encapsulate human nature with mother nature to create a harmonious tale with good visual display. The momentum of the show ensures that you are absorb in the storyline. The Bountiful Harvest of Baiyue runs from 6th till 29th October. Mon till Fri - 8.30pm, Sat 3.30pm & 8.30pm, Sun 3.30pm A flat rate of RM 5 is charged (TnG) to park at the multi storey carpark. The architecture Encore building itself is very unique and the backdrop of the sea is a great place for photography.

    Encore Melaka Live Performance Show (Malaysia)
    The 360-degree stage offers a uniquely immersive experience, seamlessly spinning without the sensation of movement. The backdrop is stunning, and the narrative richly showcases traditional Malacca art. Attending this show is well worth the ticket; if you have an interest in the country’s history, this performance is a must-see!

    Captivating cultural journey and experience
    I recently visited Encore Melaka Theatre and was blown away by the performance. The sound and visual effects were out of this world, making the show a true sensory delight. The rotating auditorium added a unique touch, fully immersing us in Melaka's rich history and vibrant culture. The talented performers and seamless integration of technology made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Melaka!

    Encore Melaka the experience
    Encore Melaka truly focuses on the history and culture of Melaka, telling the untold stories of Melaka that you will see in your text book. They even included some hidden meanings and messages throughout the play. the stage is unlike anything I've seen before, a stage that can spin 360 degrees is truly something unique and innovative, combined with the choreography it's nearly perfect. The screen can rotate and expand in various ways making the scene even more astonishing. There are some scenes that stands out the rest like (spoilers ahead) the scene where the water dropped from the ceiling and onto the performers is truly something that comes out from a Christopher Nolan film, words can't describe how beautiful it is.

    This is a great show in Melaka, the Encore Melaka is a top class show that visitor must watch. The building is great design, the internal stage is fantastic, It is a circular stage that the seat will turn to watch different scene. The story is great, it is worth watching when you visit Melaka.

    Amazing
    A must visit place when you come to Melaka. The architecture of the building is so amazing. I was there on July 7 this year during the re-opening of Encore Melaka theatre after this place was temporary closed during covid 19. This theatre was huge which can fit 1,800 people in one time. The largest theatre is south east asia with 360° of rotating seat 😲. The show tells you about history of Melaka and the rich culture of Melaka with a combination of the advance technology of the theatre. After the 530pm show ends you can watch sunset by the sea and you can see the big led lighting surrounding the building and it is beautiful 😍Definitely worth spending. I will come back and bring more friends and family to visit this place.

    Amazing 360 rotating platform theatre
    In October last year, I brought my family to Encore Melaka. We really enjoyed the acrobat show named The Bountiful Harvest of Baiyue. The show is really amazing with the 360-degree rotating platform. They really did good jobs by presenting such a good and high-quality performance for the audiences. It's really worth it to watch the show!

After reading the mixed reviews of the show we were skeptical about going there, but we had one more day in Malacca with nothing more to do so we booked our tickets for the show.

What impressed us the most was the revolving stage and the light and sound technologies used for creating the stage backgrounds.

There were 6 stories used to show a bit of culture and history of Melaka and were nicely narrated in the starting of the show itself. Presentation of some stories was good but some were just abstract with no proper play or act.

All in all, a good show put up. We didn’t regret going to the show, but yes expensive for what you get.

I've been here once not to enjoy the theater or the show but just to take picture at the exterior part of Melaka's recent new landmark.

We heard people come here not only to enjoy shows at this theater but also taking picture of its unique exterior design. So we came here to just take pics. It turns out that the pics are nice.

It's around 10 minutes drive from the old town of Melaka. No admission fee to just take photos at the exterior.

The special effects were fantastic and it was a unique concept to have the guest platform rotate to different scenes and settings.

The show started off well with the origins of Melaka then the coming of Cheng Ho from China but everything after that was disappointing. Thereafter, there was no plot nor storyline and the scene they did show seemed too random. Good the show was tri-lingual but this also meant to prolong the show time. Would have preferred more historical information about Melaka through the ages and even some explaination of the Baba Nyonya.

Encore Melaka is a must-visit destination. The seamless blend of live performance and advanced theater technology brings Melaka's history to life in a captivating way. From start to finish, I was deeply touched and amazed by both the production and the building itself. I highly recommend it to my friends and family, as it's a unique cultural experience that should not be missed.
Highly recommended place. Very beautiful view, which is located by the sea, and can see perfect scenery, especially; sunset.

The first time I traveled to Malacca, I accidentally saw Encore Melaka performing at the Red House Square, and I didn't hesitate to watch the performance at 5:30 pm with my friends. Seriously, I was amazed that the Grand Theater is very modern, there is an ocean projection on the top of the theater, the stage structure is intricate, the audience seats rotate 360°, the actors are very enthusiastic, and you can watch the sunset by the sea after watching the performance, which is super beautiful! Therefore, I highly recommend everyone to come and experience it! You won't be disappointed!

has been here 2 times for 2 different performances, both was fantastic with very pleasant experience. really hope this theatre can be put to good use to provide more brilliant performances and let more malaysians to perform and shine themselves on stage. First when i went it was a rainy day usher was even with umbrella to shed us from an uncovered area from the carpark. But for the next visit the usher girl in the hall was abit rude when she found out i didnt exchange the physical ticket at the counter, no instruction was given to me to exchange to physical ticket as i was let in at the check in point with my ticket in my phone. and on my first visit i was told that i can go in with my ticket in the phone without the physical ticket, so this was the only small down part from these 2 wonderful experiences.

Very impressive live performance and immersive visual effect really worth the price. I like the rotating seat which can change stage view in a short time. Is a must to go place if you come to Melaka especially for a tech guy like me who like to experience and enjoy new technology.

The theatre really make me impress, never saw before a theatre that will turn 360 degree.

Recommended to visit for all travelers when visit to Malacca.

After show can watch the sunset, suitable for check in.

All can be done in one place, sunset viewing, photo shooting and watching great performance.
