Gorgeous costumes, beautiful music, and helpful subtitles. A wonderful cultural immersion!
Kevin Brown
Really enjoyed this. The singing style took some getting used to but the movements and acting were so expressive. You can tell these performers have trained for years.

Trying to get a ticket for May 1
John Davis
I recently saw a Peking Opera show, and it was definitely an interesting experience. The costumes were stunning, and the show clearly put a lot of effort into their craft. The singing style might take a bit of getting used to, especially if you’re not familiar with it, but it adds a unique vibe to the show. It’s definitely a different kind of show, but if you’re into exploring traditional art forms, it’s worth checking out.
Jean Dupont
Un spectacle incroyable avec des performances exceptionnelles! Une expérience inoubliable. Je recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de culture chinoise.
Sofie Larsen

Nimen hao,
from Mai 21 to June 2 in 2024 I will be in Beijing. I’m interested in all your 3 shows.
I would like to visit the acrobatic show, the kung fu show and the beijing opera, each for one time and one person.
I’m coming from germany, my chinese speaking is not very good and I can’t read singns.
Your calender shows me only the option “today”. But it will be nice to book in advance. I’m musician (trumpet, professional) and I really want to see the shows.
I would like to have a sitting on a VIP table or section 2 for each evening.
Please can you help me to get tickets? Maybe not on day after another, but for three evenings. I will pay with credit card, cash or like you ask.
Best wishes from Germany, zai jian
Wolfgang
