Shanghai Grand Theatre

Shanghai Grand Theatre is a popular destination for anyone seeking a taste of the vibrant arts scene in Shanghai. Whether you're strolling through the city or actively seeking out cultural experiences, a visit to Shanghai Grand Theatre is a rewarding choice. The architecture is striking, the atmosphere is electric. I particularly enjoyed browsing the souvenir store and ticketing center, where I found some iconic stamps that are a unique addition to my collection. The staff at the ticketing centre were friendly and helpful.

The Shanghai Grand Theatre is located at the intersection of People's Avenue and Huangpi Road South in northern part of the People's Square in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China. Designed by French architect JeanMarie Charpentier, the building covers a floor area of 11,528 square meter. Interior design was by Studios Architecture. The Shanghai Grand Theatre regularly hosts the city's most notable classical music, dance, opera and theater performances. Opened to the public in 1998, the Grand Theatre houses three separate auditoriums, the largest of which seats 1,800, while two smaller, more intimate halls are reserved for chamber music and private events. As you know, "The Blue Danube "is a very popular piece of music created by the famous Austrian composer Johann Strauss. People all over the world love this famous waltz and many have danced to it . But have you ever heard of the crystal chandelier which is called "The Blue Danube"? If you step into the lobby of the Shanghai Grand Theatre, a huge crystal chandelier will immediately catch your eye. This chandelier was designed and made in Austria. It is more than seven meters high and three meters wide, and it has three hundred lights. Think how bright it is when it is switched on! The whole lobby of the theater is lit up with magical effect. No wonder it is called "The Blue Danube"!

The titanium roof’s curvature was calculated using sonic reflection algorithms to optimize acoustics—even a whisper carries to the back balcony. Backstage elevators can move entire opera sets in 30 seconds, their hydraulics adapted from aircraft carriers. The lobby’s crystal chandeliers refract light into rainbows that migrate across marble floors as the sun moves.

The Shanghai Grand Theatre, inaugurated in 1998, is a premier cultural landmark in Shanghai, China. Known for its striking architecture and state-of-the-art facilities, it hosts a wide range of performing arts, including operas, ballets, and concerts.

Shanghai Poly Grand Theater In my opinion Tadao Ando is the best Japanese architect in the world. I love his brilliant works and decided to collect his design since 2017. Tadao Andos put several cylinder spaces into a square to create this building.
