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.

Wonderful Classical Artistic Beijing Experience - This Opera was incredible and nothing I have ever experienced. Kathy encouraged us to arrive as soon as the doors open as we could settle in to a lovely seat and table. We also had a pre-show experience where an actor on stage sat at his make up table and watched him paint his face!!! The show had three acts. The high octave female actor’s singing and live orchestra brought us a Classical Chinese experience. The second and third acts were gorgeously executed with humor, athleticism and artistry. Highly recommend!

Famous Beijing opera - Great experience if you are in Beijing. Beijing opera is such a mesmerizing show, so different from what we are used in Europe. Costumes really detailed, voices in harmony and expressions on point. My guide tour Cathy was really nice and welcoming. She explained about the opera and the themes I was about to see. Very lively and talkative. So good to have her for today. I would recommend this activity to everyone coming to Beijing

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.
