The opera itself is nice and a good look into chinese culture, but there is no need to buy the ticket here. Just buy it on the spot the day of the representation (even only 30min before), there will be room for you in the theatre and you will pay it much cheaper.
The snacks provided are ridiculous. I had to complain twice to get the tea. I expected more from the opera.

I don't speak Mandarin so well, but I would like to watch live Peking Opera. As a result, the play was good and I enjoyed it! Because both sides of stage have TV screens showing subtitles of performer's lines, I could understand summary of this play to some extent. I'm not familiar with Opera, but performers have a powerful and resonant voice, so I could be impressed by this play! --I'm sorry I forget to take a photo because I was absorbed in this play--
Dear Yoheigongt, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Peking Opera performance at Liyuan Theatre. It's fantastic to know that the English subtitles on the screens were helpful, allowing you to follow the story and appreciate the art form. We agree that the performers' powerful and resonant voices are truly impressive and are the heart of this traditional experience. Your comment about being so absorbed in the play that you forgot to take pictures is one of the best compliments we could ever receive. It shows you were fully immersed in the moment, and we are so glad we could help facilitate that memorable experience for you. Thank you again for choosing our service. We hope to have the pleasure of assisting you with more unique cultural experiences in the future! Warm regards,
This is something different to go and see on your trip to Beijing, as westerners we didn't understand the premise of all of the stories told but the acrobatics were very good.
Dear Luke_P, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on the Liyuan Peking Opera performance we booked for you! We totally get that as Western visitors, fully following the stories of traditional Peking Opera might take a bit more context—but we’re thrilled the acrobatics stood out for you! Those impressive physical skills are such a shining part of this art form, and it’s great to hear they left a nice impression. If you ever come back to Beijing and want to explore more cultural experiences, we’d be happy to help arrange them. Thanks again for letting us be part of your trip. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Beijing too! Best regards,
The tour guide was nice and very helpful. He was very patient with us and adjusted to the group's preferences easily. He kept everyone entertained and was very informative. He told interesting stories and backgrounds about each tourist spot we visited. The view of every place was beautiful and breathtaking. Everyone in the group enjoyed the trip and would want to go again.
Dear Ms. Shelfiah, We are truly delighted to learn that every member of your group had a wonderful time during the sightseeing in Beijing.

Thank you for joining us and for your kind words. And we look forward to welcoming you back for more cultural adventures in the future. Warmest regards,
