Shanghai Grand Theatre

Shanghai Grand Theatre is an opera house with three performance spaces in Huangpu, including a major auditorium. The building spans ten floors with multiple stages and rooms designed for rehearsals and orchestral work.

The building was created through collaboration between a French architect and a local design institute. It opened in 1998 and became Shanghai's new cultural center.

The venue hosts both traditional Chinese opera and contemporary international performances for local and visiting audiences. You can experience the mix of classical and modern productions that define Shanghai's cultural life.

Visitors should allow time to orient themselves since the building spans multiple levels with different halls spread throughout. Access to the performance spaces is clearly marked and easy to navigate.

The building contains specialized areas like ballet rehearsal rooms and an orchestra practice hall that remain hidden from public view. These concealed spaces allow performers to prepare at the highest level.
