TaipeiEYE is an easy introduction to traditional Chinese and Taiwanese stage arts, with evening performances that mix opera, dance, mime, acrobatics, and martial arts. The format is built for visitors: shows run about 90 minutes, and dialogue and songs are translated into several languages, including English.
It is a good choice if you want a cultural performance without needing specialist knowledge of Chinese opera. Book ahead during busy travel periods, and arrive early if you want time to look at the costumes and stage preparation.
