Above is the front of the tea house above is our MC for the evening. She spoke very good English. To the left is the “committee meeting” about our seats. The couple wanted us to move saying they had these seats reserved, meanwhile our guide was said bologna, we did not move.  Below is something Sichuan opera is famous for, something called changing faces. if you look carefully at the puppet the mask is different, and yes it is the same puppet.

One of the hotesses pouring tea and to the right the erhu player, he was really good.

The highlight of the evening was the couple who performed last. the story goes is he is caught gambling and she punishes him, he has to do various maneuvers with the lamp on top of his head. Below is proof, there are fairies in China.
