Tea House Theater Experience Very interesting to say the least. The music and the traditional instruments were amazing 😍 and to see artists hone their skills to perform on stage definitely deserves commendation. The dim sum was delicious too.

Enjoying Cantonese opera while savoring Chinese dim sum and fine tea is a truly unique experience. The tea is served hot, with a smooth and mellow taste, making it extra special! The host provides an accessible introduction to the key concepts of Cantonese opera: singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatics, accompanied by a short excerpt to aid understanding, allowing everyone to better appreciate Cantonese opera. Although the performers are emerging talents, their skills are remarkable, and their performance is dedicated and engaging, making it well worth seeing again and again!????????

What an excellently curated show with musical excerpts, video and live demos, opera scenes and operatic singing from well-trained emerging artists. Such a fun and unique experience to be in the tea house theatre having tea. They only open the show doors 15’ before showtime so no need to arrive so early. There is no bench seating outside the venue. There are many restaurants and eateries in the complex so you can grab a bite to eat before the show, but save some room for the trio of dim sum provided at each seat for the show.

Very beautiful experience to discover Chinese opera. Good performances by the actors and clear explanations from the session host about all the characteristics of Xiqu. All this accompanied by a snack including dim sum (which can be vegetarian on request) as well as tea.

The performance was very nice and very interesting.. the discipline and uniqueness was really something… very elegant.. thank you xiqu for ensuring this performances lives for the new generation to know and learn. it was really amazing and i really enjoyed the entire 90minutes act. the music, dance and singing was really amazing… please note, this is an opera, it keeps its elegance and serene music.. after the performance, you may buy tea from the tea shop with free taste on different teas

Experience: This teahouse theater experience was a delightful surprise, cleverly combining Cantonese opera, Chinese music, and tea culture. While enjoying exquisite dim sum and fragrant tea, we appreciated the singing and instrument introductions up close in a relaxed yet profound atmosphere. It's especially friendly to audiences new to Cantonese opera, making it both educational and entertaining, truly achieving the goal of drinking tea while listening to songs, a real eye-opener.

The arrangement was wonderful. The 90 minutes passed quickly, giving us a good understanding of the essence of Cantonese opera singing. We would love to come back for another visit given the chance. The only minor flaw was that the dim sum was a bit cold!
