Fantasia at Beijing Night Show

Take a break from Beijing’s winter chill with a warm and entertaining evening at Beijing’s best dinner show tour destination, the Beijing Night Show, now featuring its all new Beijing The Fantasia production.

A thrilling evening begins in the Beijing Night Show parking lot as its banner blazes overhead lighting up the night sky, announcing another night in the life of this famous show. The Moulin Rouge of the East, Beijing Night Show brings the audience through an action-packed, non-stop journey back through 2,000 years of Chinese history.

This winter season, as every year, the curtain goes up on an impressive retelling of the city’s 900-year history in the show’s exciting new 90-minute spectacular that depicts Chinese history in an entertaining theatrical blend of dance, music and song that is constantly tweaked to stay abreast of the times. 

Following something along the lines of the tradition of Hollywood musicals, the exotic delights of the Ziegfeld Follies Broadway show and the Les Follies Bergére in Paris, the gorgeous Chinese nationalities that appear on stage are contenders to the very best of the best stage performers anywhere in the world.

With the distinction of being Beijing’s premier cultural dinner show tour destination, the Beijing Night Show continues to build on its remarkable entertainment history. Si Haili, managing director of Beijing Night Show, said, “Beijing The Fantasia is a fresh interpretation of the history of an ancient city.”

In an eye-catching display of motion and music, acrobats leap, performers twirl overhead and jugglers and martial arts’ experts display craft and cunning as swordplay performers do battle. Armoured soldiers re-enact historic moments in the life of the city doing battle in dance formation as choreographed flag bearers and elaborately dressed imperial hand maidens the scene and flow through the public galleries of the theatre and up on stage.

The Beijing Night Show continues to attract luminaries from business, politics and diplomacy with over 200,000 people now having seen the show. Situated near the heart of the capital, the show is in easy reach of all the main attractions.
