Tianchan Beijing Opera Center and Yifu Theater is one of Shanghai's places to try jingju, or Beijing opera. Performances can mix stylised singing with acrobatics and martial movement, so it is worth sampling a short programme before committing to a full evening.
The theatre is on Fuzhou Road, close to the Bund and People's Square. Listings and staff may be Mandarin-only, so check the programme carefully if you want a tourist-friendly highlights show.
