An Alien World That Stole My Heart

As someone who thought "opera" meant Italian arias, Sichuan Opera blew my mind. The opening act with fire-breathing and those insane mask changes (seriously, HOW do they do it?!) felt like a Marvel movie come to life. I almost spilled my tea when the performer "magically" turned his red mask into a blue one mid-flip! The shrill music took some getting used to – my ears rang for hours – but the energy was infectious. The best part? The old man next to me kept whispering plot twists in broken English. 10/10 would brave the language barrier again.

Not What I Expected (In the Best Way) They offer a pick-up and drop-off service and it's a good deal. Went in expecting Chinese Broadway. Got something wilder. I kind of liked that comedy show. The comic duo with the chubty clown and his sassy wife had the crowd howling – I didn't get 70% of the jokes but laughed anyway. Then BAM! A scene where a lady sang while balancing 12 cups on her head?! The climax with the black-and-white "yin yang face" dancer gave me actual chills. Some parts dragged (that 20-minute ballad about a mountain god... zzz), but the raw skill was undeniable. Bought a cheap mask on the way out – already planning my TikTok face-changing fail video!
Beautiful Chaos

Imagine commedia dell'arte on Sichuan peppercorns. The exaggerated makeup reminded me of Venetian carnival, but the stories were darker – ghosts, revenge, tragic love. The water sleeve dance (those loooong white sleeves) was hypnotic, but the "face-changing" stole the show. My friend joked they must use magnets... until a performer changed masks THREE TIMES while walking past our front row seat. Zero. Clue. How. My only gripe? The wooden benches murdered my back after 90 minutes. Still – unforgettable. Pro tip: Google the legends beforehand! All the performers are wonderful: singers, acrobats, shadow puppets. It is all very engaging and it was a pleasant way to spend the evening.
