Peking Opera: Opera Preparations

A funny and original idea: The actors prepare the opera in a public corridor, allowing the public to watch their work of characterization.

Thus, the show starts immediately as you enter the building, even before sitting.

Peking Opera: Colourful experience

The famous Peking Opera is well worth while to see. I don't particularly like the way they "sing" it resembles more like cats meowing, but I love the skilled acrobat trics and the humor that cross both the cultural and language barriers easily. The musical instruments are nice, too. Tea is served and the audience sits at tables. A very entertaining experience. I recommend warmly!

Liyuan Theatre, Beijing

Here at the Liyuan Theatre, the seats at the very front rows are a restaurant-style table where sweets and tea are served.
