The National Centre for the Performing Arts spans 32,000 square meters and contains five theaters designed for different performance styles and audience capacities.

Construction of this cultural institution began in 1973 on reclaimed sea land, with its official opening taking place in 1986 under Philip Johnson's architectural direction.
