hi Richard,
the schedule for September is here on the page: http://www.beijingtrip.com/entertainment/monthly-activities/september.htm.
i just noticed that this website always update the next month's schedule around 15th of each month, so you may check after September 15 for the schedule for october.

I'm in Beijing at present and would like to go the Beijing Opera tonight. It is now 28 August and your most recent month in the activity programme is July 2010. Is it possible to book anything tonight, or is it possible to book for August only in September?

Thanks for you enquiry.
We are sorry to say that there will be no bilingual children's shows during the period of July 12-17, according to the latest schedule of performances in Beijing theaters.

Here we suggest you take your 10 years old daughter to Beijing Zoo where she may would like to see the giant pandas or see the performance of dolphins in Beijing Aquarium.
