chang'an grand theater - how to buy ticketshow to get there?

Question

I will be staying in Beijing at the Classic Courtyard (No. 31 Beixin Hutong Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng) from 21 January - 26 January).  I am very interested in seeing a traditional Chinese Opera during my stay.  Can you advise me on how to buy tickets and also what will be showing during this time?  Also how do I best travel from my hotel to the Theatre.  How much would a taxi cost?

You can take subway line 2 from the nearby Yonghegong Station to Jianguomen, Exit A. Walk westwards for 300 yards and you will see the theater. If you go there by taxi, the taxi fare takes around CNY20.I checked their website, it has a performance on Jan. 21 and you can call at 010-6510 1310 to book the tickets. Or you can make an online reservation. But the website only has Chinese version. You may need some help from Chinese friends.

thanks. That is most helpful.  Do you know what the difference in seating is?  What do I get for 80CNY as opposed to 100CNY?  Is it like Supper theater, or should I eat before the performance?

Valerie · Answer

Seats costing more money are closer to the stage.I'm afraid the theater doesn't provide supper. You may need to eat before the performance.

Hi sorry to check with you. Do you know which is the official li yuan website for online purchase? Thanks thanks

Well, you can search liyuantheatre to find it. But as I know, there is no English version of the site, so you may look for help from your Chinese friends.
