Ahead of the National Day holidays, the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism said theatres can now open at 75% of normal visitor capacity.
Large-scale outdoor performances and live shows are permitted if in a low-risk area.
Audiences must wear face masks and have their temperature checked on entering a venue.
The ministry also announced the lifting of curbs on tourist attractions across the country, which may also now open at 75% capacity.
Although mostly eradicated in many areas, China still has 171 patients under treatment for Covid-19.
More than 85,000 tested positive for the virus in Mainland China.
