Beijing Performing Arts Centre

Beijing Performing Arts Centre, Performing arts center in Yongshun, China

The Beijing Performing Arts Centre stands on the north side of the City Green Heart Forest Park in Tongzhou, Beijing. Its total floor area is about 125,300 square metres, with five levels above ground and two below, holding an opera house, a concert hall, a theatre, a multipurpose hall and an outdoor stage for 5,500 spectators at once. The opera house, concert hall and theatre are planned for 1,800, 1,600 and 1,000 seats.

Construction of the three major buildings of Beijing's sub-centre began in late October 2019; the theatre topped out on 30 April 2021, with a total investment of 2.5 billion yuan. The first test performance took place on 27 September 2023, and the opera Yunhe Yao (Canal Ballad) opened the venue on 22 December 2023. The National Centre for the Performing Arts operates it.

The building's form draws on Tongzhou's old granaries and the cargo boats that once served the Grand Canal, and its three halls are conceived as "cultural vessels" for performance. The opening production, staged from 22 to 24 December 2023, was the opera "Canal Ballad" (Yunhe Yao), set on the same canal. The venue is run by the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

The centre sits on the north side of the City Green Heart Forest Park in Tongzhou. A reserved station, Beijing Grand Theatre station, is planned as a same-platform interchange between metro lines M101 and 104, with a 400-metre, 16-metre-wide station box and a 100-metre glass roof; until the lines open, arrive by road.

The building's form draws on Tongzhou's old granaries and the cargo boats that once served the Grand Canal, with facades modelled on sailing ships. Inside, the concert hall, opera house and theatre are conceived as three "cultural vessels" for performance.
