Zhengyici Peking Opera Theatre

Zhengyici means a temple (ci) for Zhengyi Xuantan Laozu (正乙玄坛老祖).

It has a rich history that includes performances by the grandmaster of Peking Opera, Mei Lanfang.

As of October 2010, the theatre was all set to reopen, with the premiere of Mei Lanfang Classics, providing a view of Peking Opera in its heyday.

The play includes six classics from the 160 repertoires of Mei Lanfang, including Battle with Invaders, Drunken Princess, Goddess of Luo River, Taking Command of Troops, Sylph Scattering Flowers, and Farewell to Princess Yu.

On June 10, 2012, the theatre played host to American comedian Louis CK, who taped an episode of his show Louie there to an invitation-only audience.
