An interesting spectacle with lots of food - I booked a VIP seating with local snacks. Arrived at the venue 30 minutes before the show. Redeemed my ticket at the ticket office in front of the venue after showing them the Viator ticket. No problems whatsoever, the ticket booth is clearly marked. I was seated with lots of time to spare and asked if I wanted fruit, local snacks or a picture in the costumes used for the show. I chose the local snacks which were plenty for at least 2 people to fill up so I would not recommend eating for a couple hours before if you go for this option. The show itself consisted of around 8 different performances which were divided by a host's speech about the upcoming performance so even when not speaking chinese you can understand the gist of what's going on. Generally would recommend the experience, especially if you choose the local snack option. I think the VIP option is worth it since the viewing area is flat and I imagine people in the back might not see the stage as well, although beware that the performance can be really loud at times.

Best opera in the city - The show was spectacular. There were all kinds of local entertainment shows bundled together, as they are used to in Sichuan. I also had the opportunity to experience a similar show, but this was the better one, so I can only recommend.

Amazing show used to having tourists in the audience - Amazing show for all age groups, I really loved it, and it's definitely one of the highlights of my Chengdu trip. You get shown to your seat, poured Jasmin tea, given snacks if you paid for it. The hostess translates the introduction to the acts in English after presenting in Chinese. It's a joy to see the entertainers also enjoying themselves and the audience appreciating the talented performers. Would recommend for all to experience this show if and when visiting this beautiful city.

Very satisfied with the show - Nice show. More than opera it is a series of various Chinese performances. We had the vip seats that allows to see the show with a great view.

Spectacle that goes beyond the famous exchange of masks - A spectacle that is well worth it and goes beyond the famous exchange of masks. Various artists with different performances, from musicians to a woman who surprises doing shadow play with her hands! A unique experience and an excellent opportunity to learn more about the rich Chinese culture.

A Very Fun and Interesting Night OUt! - So many different talents presented at this show, and some truly skilled veteran performers from opera singers to musicians to acrobats. The mask-changing was amazing! We paid extra for the VIP experience and I'm not sure it was quite worth how much more expensive it was, but we definitely loved getting seats right up front -- great for photos!

Overall a very good time. Face changing is impressive! - It was very easy to pick up our tickets, which was great. The theatre is amazing and costumes were incredible. We chose the fruit platters as our snacks, which was perfect! The show itself was really good too - the hand shadow lady was awesome and the face changing right at the end was incredible. Some of the other acts felt like they dragged on a bit. But overall, worthit for the experience.

- The opera was very good, not all we understood due to the language barrier. The face changing was fantastic! Your staff also offer a brilliant service to your guests.

Nice experience even if... - Nice experience even if perhaps a non-Chinese tourist does not enjoy it much as a full-bodied part of the show is dialogue in Chinese ... more or less you understand the sense of history thanks to the gesticulation of the actors who are still very good in all the various performances that follow one another. NB: The “change face” show lasts only 15 minutes at the end, an hour and a half is a bit long but the performances are all beautiful and also the massage experience.

Left in the dark about tickets - No communication beforehand about how to get the tickets, usually with other bookings we get sent a message with our tickets, or a message with instructions on how to pick them up. We had to send a message before the show asking what was up and how to get the tickets we booked
