Checked in✔️ at the National Grand Theater
📍Located on the west side of the Beijing People's Great Hall
The most beautiful theater in China located in the center of Beijing
Planning began in 1958, officially launched in 1996
The plan was confirmed in 1999 and completed in 2007
Designed by French architect Paul Andreu
Together with the deconstructivist Zaha's Daxing Airport
Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters Building
And the high-tech Norman Foster's T3
Herzog&de Mueron's Bird's Nest
Together they form the new landmarks of Beijing
B1~3 floors are equipped with opera house, drama theater, concert hall
The 4th floor is the office area, the 5th floor is the art gallery
The B2 floor is a small theater, the B3 floor is a rehearsal hall
The four theaters can accommodate 5300 spectators
The building is fully functional and the structure is transparent
Surrounded by water systems and greenery, it is like a small city
Almost all performances here can be sold out
“I am really confident that in 20 or 30 years, people seeing the opera will think, this is typical Chinese architecture. It is rooted in China, constructed in China – not a piece of stone came from another country.”
—— Paul Andreu
