Beijing Opera is a love-or-loathe experience and many visitors find they don’t have the patience, understanding (or earplugs) for a full-scale Beijing Opera performance, which can last for hours, and, in the past, even days. Thus the tourist-friendly, shortened, often subtitled versions available at some theaters around the capital present an easy introduction to the art. Many of these places also offer the chance to see the performers before the show, which allows you to really appreciate the detail of the makeup and costumes worn as well as to get some close-up photos. One of the best of the tourist choices is at the Liyuan Theater Qianmen Hotel at 175 Yong’an Lu, which has evening performance at 7:30 pm.
