Chongqing Grand Theatre, Modern theater building in Jiangbeizui CBD, China
The theater stands on a headland near the Yangtze River with a stone platform base supporting its angular glass exterior structure.
The construction of this 1.595 billion yuan project started in 2005 and concluded in 2009, marking a new era for performing arts in Chongqing.
Two concert halls within the building host various performances, from large-scale operas and ballets to intimate musical presentations throughout the year.
The main auditorium accommodates 1,826 spectators with an 88-member orchestra pit, while the second hall holds 938 people plus 65 musicians.
The building's glass shell creates different light patterns throughout the day, while its engineering allows performances without microphones due to superior acoustics.
