OPERA HOUSE
The opera house seats an audience of 1,600 in the stalls and two balconies. It is designed for both amplified and non-amplified performances such as opera, drama theatre, ballet and musical theatre.
The volume of the opera house is about 13,900m3. With such a large volume, suitable diffusion patterns, fixed absorption and variable acoustic banners were recommended by Marshall Day Acoustics to achieve the desired acoustic quality in the opera house. The opera house will be completed in June 2019.
Based on preliminary feedback on the concert hall by the client, the expectation for the entire building is that it will be one of the most impressive concert hall and opera house in China.
