The 380 tickets bought at 138 are particularly good, there are small snacks and tea, Peking Opera is also good-looking, the scene and TV feel too different, you can see the makeup and dressing process early, the electronic screen has words and English explanation, great value for money
Liyuan Theater, just inside the Huguang Assembly Hall, the environment here is very good, the cross talk of old Beijing, opera, are all here to watch, Liyuan Theater often staged some traditional repertoires.
The place is very easy to find, not many people to see, most of them foreigners, saw three fold operas, namely picking up jade bracelets, the goddess scattered flowers, farewell to Concubine, but enough to let my junior realize the charm of the quintessence of the country. Before the performance, there were actors dressing up and wearing costumes on the spot. The actual number of 388 tickets booked on Ctrip is 138. It is also convenient to collect tickets and the service personnel are friendly.
Went to see the opera at Liyuan theatre,and it was absolutely amazing and unique performances,before the show starts you can watch the performers pitnon their make up and costume!
When you come to Beijing, you must see a Peking Opera. Baidu is online. There is a Liyuan Theatre on the first floor of the Jianguo Hotel lobby in Qianmen. There will be two or three pieces of Peking Opera performances around 7:30 p.m. First close contact and feeling of China, both sigh the beauty of art and revere the tiredness of artists! Because it takes about 40 minutes for the artists to make up in the corner of the stage before the show starts! Most of the visitors that night were foreign friends.
It's a good experience to listen to her on TV with my grandmother who came to Beijing for the first time. It's very touching. I'm also interested in the quintessence of Chinese culture. Today's attendance rate is not as high as that in the comments, but foreigners are real! Mexican mother and son! Very open.
She was very happy to take her Italian friend there. There are many foreigners in this theatre. There are Chinese and English subtitles on both sides of the stage. Each stage has three sections. Within one hour, "Singing, Reading, Doing and Doing" are all embodied. It belongs to the entry level, and the visual effect is very good, so it is not afraid to be misunderstood. Early admission can see the overlord dressed up, very interesting, foreign visitors are very attentive. I was also the first time to enter the Peking Opera Theatre and fell in love with Peking Opera since then.
