Guangzhou Opera House
Marshall Day Acoustics was selected for this project as part of a rigorous tendering process and the result is a beautiful asymmetrical auditorium design with the acclaimed London based architect, Zaha Hadid, who won the design competition in 2003. A technical paper describing the acoustic design can be found here.
This US $120 m development is one of the biggest cultural projects in this city and, at 1,800 seats, is expected to become the biggest performing centre in South China and to be one of the three biggest theatres in the nation.
