Liyuan Theatre

梨园剧场

Recommendation by Lemi

China has hundreds of opera variations, but the Peking Opera is the most celebrated! The style mixes acrobatics and kung fu on top of acting, singing, and dancing. Enjoy a show at the Liyuan Theatre and watch in awe as costumed performers grace the stage. Daily performances consist of a four-part repertoire. Each act tells a story relating to local culture, history, ancient legends, and romance. There are screens beside the stage that flash English subtitles to keep you up to speed with what’s happening!
