A place worth knowing

The programme offers a way into living performance traditions, with the particular company and production determining the experience. Read the event description for language, surtitles and running arrangements rather than assuming every show follows the same format. The theatre is on Zhongshan South Second Road, so use the full address when arranging transport. Admission and performance times depend on the show.
