If you want to see opera in its original form, away from the subtitles and shortened tourist theater versions, take a stroll around Shichahai or the Temple of Heaven’s grounds in the early evening and you might well see crowds of elderly folk clustered around the local park star, enjoying a free performance. For a more intimate opera experience, try visiting the Academy of Chinese Traditional Opera at 400 Wanquan Si in Fengtai district.
Here, the public is invited to watch the academy’s students rehearse once a week and, although the performances won’t be flawless (they are students after all), it’s a laid-back environment and provides a more personal experience. If you arrive early, you may even get the chance to go backstage and see the actors preparing their make-up. Rehearsals usually start at about 1:30 pm on Fridays and only happen in semester time.
