Shanghai Symphony Hall

Shanghai Symphony Hall, Concert hall in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China

Shanghai Symphony Hall is the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's home at 1380 Fuxing Middle Road in Xuhui District, opened on 6 September 2014. Japanese architect Arata Isozaki designed the building, with acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics. It holds a 1,200-seat main hall and a 400-seat chamber hall, and is nicknamed 'Wonton Skin'.

The site was a swimming pool complex from 1964 until the 1990s, when it fell into disuse. Construction of the hall began in September 2009 on that plot in Xuhui District, with acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics and design by Arata Isozaki. It opened on 6 September 2014; since 8 July 2019 it has carried the Jaguar name.

The hall's nickname, "Huntunpi" (wonton wrapper), was chosen by public vote in June 2014, before the official opening on 6 September 2014. The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1879, moved here from its Hunan Road 105 headquarters, whose poor soundproofing had long been a problem. The last chamber concert at the old hall was held on 27 June 2014.

The hall stands at 1380 Middle Fuxing Road in Xuhui District, in the Hengshan Road–Fuxing Road historic area, where building height limits push nearly half the structure underground. Line 10 of the Shanghai Metro runs beneath it, at one point only 6 metres away, so 300 spring isolators were fitted under the base in August 2012 to keep the halls insulated from vibration.

The hall's official nickname is "Wonton Skin", a reference to its pale, folded exterior. Because the Hengshan Road–Fuxing Road historic area caps building height, nearly half the structure sits underground, and Line 10 of the Shanghai Metro passes beneath it, at one point only 6 metres away.
