Five star plus experience at the opera ! 🥰 - Five plus rating for this amazing experience ! The show was stunning , the actors simply amazing! The set up - sitting at the table having a tea and snacks while enjoying two shows - traditional opera and more modern take on the traditional mythical story! We loved both stories so much! Our guide Cathy was the most wonderful , fun and bubbly, with excellent knowledge of English and history of the opera : ) She took the most wonderful care of us , found us the best table, and made sure we had the most wonderful experience at the opera! Highly recommend , five stars plus! 🥰

Amazing night out in Beijing - Very smooth “introductory experience” to Beijing opera. The theater is located in the center of the city, a few blocks South from the Tiananmen square. Driver picked us up from hotel exactly at the arranged time and drove us to the theater and back to hotel. We had front row seats ant the table with the tea. The show consists of 3 short plays, good way to get experience with Beijing opera style. Acting was amazing and they had subtitles running in English, which helped a lot. Overall, very pleasant and unique experience for a couple (like us) or for a small group of friends.

Absolutely would recommend - Kathy was the BEST!! Overall, the experience was so fun: transportation was clean and we learned so much about the opera on the ride from our hotel, and Kathy made sure we had the best view in the front row. The show itself was such a unique experience, we really loved the costumes and makeup and storytelling. The different acrobatics and the vocal abilities of the actors were so impressive! It was easy to understand and we were happy to have some delicious little treats available at our table. I especially liked the Jasmine tea provided. I would absolutely recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Beijing!!

Once in a lifetime experience I will never forget! - This was such an amazing experience! Our driver was on time to pick us up and I was constantly in communication with the provider of the service. When we arrived, we had a variety of snacks and drinks to choose from. As for the performance, it was a one of a kind experience that transported me back in time. The costumes, music, and the actors were incredible. I truly recommend this experience if you are visiting Beijing!

Beijing Peking Opera - Fantastic Peking Opera performance. Stage actors were acrobatic and costumes outstanding. Two different stories, and the first one was a classic Chinese story. Ask for Cathy as your guide. She is bubbly and energetic. Made the night memorable.

Good - Our guide Kathy had a wonderful positive bubbly attitude. She was able to answer any questions we had and explained about the opera before hand. She was great. Transfer service was smooth and the snacks provided at the show were nice. It is good to know that the show itself is more one scene snippets of full length shows, to get a sense of the style.
