Guangzhou Grand Theatre, formerly known as Guangzh...
Guangzhou Grand Theatre, formerly known as Guangzhou Opera House, is located at No. 1 Zhujiang West Road, Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, China. It is located in the central CBD of China's central city, Guangzhou CBD, one of the seven new landmarks in Guangzhou. The third largest opera house in the country after the Beijing National Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Grand Theatre.
Designed by Zaha Hadid, the first female and British Iraqi female architect who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, it looks like two Lingshi washed by the Pearl River and is called double gravel . .
The "big stone" is the main theater of the opera house, and the "small stone" is a multi-purpose theater. The area ratio of the two is 5:1.
The interior of the Opera House shares more than 10,000 tons of steel, twice the amount used by the National Centre for the Performing Arts. The construction of the Guangzhou Opera House is no less difficult than the "Bird's Nest".
Purely a non-geometric design, no piece of granite or glass on the curtain wall is repeated.
Dr. Harold Marshall, the world's top acoustics master, has built a world-class acoustic system for the Guangzhou Grand Theatre, which is highly regarded by the global architecture community and artists. "USA Today" was named "World's Top Ten Opera Houses".
