Hi, how can i book a ticket at Liyuan theatre on line ?
Wolfgang Huhn
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
