We went to see the Beijing People's Art Theatre in the evening! We bought the tickets a day in advance. We had been wanting to go there for a long time. It may not be a regular Beijing tour, but it must be recommended.
During the trip, only Feng Yuanzheng's "Player" was performed. Unfortunately, I didn't buy tickets in time. When I remembered, the tickets were sold out. I could only go on a pilgrimage on the last day of the trip and visit the museum on the 4th floor.
The Capital Theatre is located at No. 22 Wangfujing Street, Beijing. It was built in 1954 and is the first professional theatre for performing dramas after the founding of New China. The Beijing People's Art Theatre is located inside. It can seat 1,200 spectators and is still used for performances.
The Capital Theatre is one of the epitomes of Beijing. You can apply for membership of the People's Art Theatre and choose your favorite plays to watch. The location is easy to find, just on the north side of Wangfujing. Come and experience the charm of the People's Art Theatre.
If you want to watch a drama, you have to go to the National Theatre of China Capital Theatre. The quality is guaranteed, both in terms of the repertoire and the environment. Especially after I was almost sick of all the crappy experimental dramas in recent years, the plays of the National Theatre of China seem to be getting better and better.
Remember to watch a play when you come to Beijing. The plays of the People's Art Theatre are great! This is also our first time watching a play. I think the actors are amazing! Must praise! We watched "Hamlet".
It was my first time watching it, and even the side rows were full. It was very exciting. It was worth it.
This is a good place for old Beijingers to watch dramas. Beijing dialect is not difficult to understand and is very similar to Mandarin. Watching the dramas in these theaters is also a wonderful thing to do when traveling to Beijing.
There are often some cheap but interesting plays in the People's Art Theatre's small theater.
