Peking Opera Show in Beijing (Night Tour) - December 2026

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

The Beijing guide and driver will be holding a sign with your name written on it and pick you up from your hotel lobby at 18:20. Drive to the theater directly. Peking opera has more than 230 years of history. It is believed that Peking opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui Opera Troupes came to Beijing. Peking opera developed quickly during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the Empress Dowager Cixi under their imperial patronage, eventually becoming more common to the common people. In ancient times, the costumes were a garish collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the dimly illuminated stage only lit by oil lamps. Peking opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera, ballet and acrobatics consisting of dance, martial arts and mime. The Peking opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion band. The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes. The commonly used percussion instruments include castanets, drums, bells and cymbals. One person usually plays the castanets and drums simultaneously, which conducts the entire band. The orchestral instruments include the Erhu, Huqin, Yueqin, Sheng (reed pipe), Pipa (lute) and other instruments. The band usually sits on the left side of the stage. Afterwards, your Chinese driver will take you back to your hotel.

China: fantastic trip, saw the sites, are good food, learned, Howard was top notch, pace and transport was perfect and all well-timed Japan: Hidemi was great but there was too much trudging in the rail / metro system. Koyasan and Hakone were not worth it in my opinion for the amount of work it took to get there.

Performers pay more attention to the action, and the music perfectly coincides with the performance. The high level acrobatic program requires excellent technique coaching and extensive preparation time. When you watch a Chinese acrobatics show, you will be strongly impacted both mentally and physically. It is truly an unforgettable experience. At present, Chinese acrobatics have developed into a kind of performance art. There are over 122 acrobatic teams above the county level in China, and Chinese acrobatics have won praise from audiences both at home and abroad along with gold medals in World Acrobatic Festivals in recent years. In the Beijing area, there is a famous theater where you watch acrobatics and other programs of entertainment.

Some of the artists have won prizes in international competitions. Spinning plates, juggling umbrellas, contortionists and acrobats fill the air. Finally, your Chinese driver will transfer you back to your hotel after show.
