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

Great experience! - Great theater experience! The Beijing Opera is a must during a trip to Beijing, and it is better still if you have a VIP service with pickup from the hotel. Especially with our guide, Cathy, the experience was complete; she gave us lots of tips during the brief moments together, during the transportation from hotel to the theater and back, always with humor and energy! Only minus point, but not enough to spoil the night, is that we did expect the snacks offered by the theater to be something typical and local prepared for the guests; in the end, there were just some small packs of sweets that could be bought at the corner shop. All in all, it was a very nice evening!

Chinese Opera - The visit to Chinese opera was curious. We loved how the actors and actresses acted, all very agile. We saw the show in the front row, very close to the stage, with a rich jasmine tea and Chinese sweets. One pass! But the best thing was our guide, Cathy. Ever since he picked us up in a great car, he was telling us many curious things about Chinese opera and also about Beijing and some customs of the country. A lovely guide, very friendly and friendly. He left us back at our hotel, not before giving us some magnets for the fridge and a lovely fan. Great deal from Cathy.

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.
