We enjoyed an evening of "Opera" at Beijing's oldest tea house. The performances included both Farewell My Concubine and The Monkey King. The first is a classical dramatic performance with some tricky sword play, the second a Kung Fu performance which was more entertaining and fun. The show was only an hour and a half long and well worth the investment of an evening. I highly recommend this.

Our visit was arranged by our hotel concierge but the website below is good for buying tickets independently online (less expensively).
