Description
Watch a live Sichuan Opera performance in Chengdu with this ticket. Enjoy a bowl of traditional gaiwan tea while you watch face-changing, fire-spitting, and water-sleeve dance acts.
Step inside the Shufeng Theatre, a cultural landmark beside Wenshu Monastery, and spend an evening with one of China's most dramatic art forms. Sichuan Opera is fast, loud, and physical, blending acrobatics, comedy, dance, and music. At its heart is the face-changing stunt that made the art form famous around the world.
On a small, intimate stage, see the full repertoire of classics: lightning-fast mask changes, fire-spitting, the playful Pijin Rolling Lantern, the flowing water-sleeve dance, live hand-shadow play, and the mesmerizing long-spout teapot tea ceremony. All performers are nationally awarded Sichuan Opera artists, and the program is refreshed regularly, so no two shows are ever exactly the same.
The stage is small and close, with the nearest seats only a few meters from the actors, ideal for catching every detail of the face-changing. Before the show begins, staff will serve each guest a bowl of traditional gaiwan tea.
The whole experience runs about 60–90 minutes, with multiple evening showtimes. Whether before or after the performance, it fits seamlessly into any city-centre itinerary.
