The costumes and scenery were beautiful and amazing. The performance was very entertaining, and the face-changing was an experience that should not be missed during a visit to Chengdu.

Unusual experience. Traditionally we can call such kind of show as a circus. Very professional actors and performances. Tremendous efforts to prepare everything, to be ready and to take care of.
A pleasure for the senses

The event is very worth seeing. It is not really an opera in the European sense, but a show with dance, magic, acrobatics and sketches that appeals to all our senses. Especially the traditional dresses and the mask change are fascinating. A thousand-year tradition was further developed with modern technology. For foreigners it is very convenient to order tickets online in their own language. You can't go wrong with that. On the day of the performance, I was sent a reservation number to withdraw the tickets at the counter. Everything is simple!

An impressive show, excellently presented. A few background noises (and also a few toddlers) were still in the frame. The first rows of seats are worthwhile! It was a wonderful evening.
