Shanghai Grand Theatre
The Shanghai Grand Theatre (Chinese: 上海大剧院; pinyin: Shànghǎi dà jùyuàn) is a complex located at the intersection of Renmin Avenue and Huangpi North Road in the northern part of the People's Square in the Huangpu District of Shanghai. The building houses the Shanghai Opera House and other performing companies.
The theatre was designed by French architect Jean-Marie Charpentier along with the Institute of Architectural Design of Eastern China. Since its opening on August 27, 1998, it has staged performances of operas, musicals, ballets, symphonies, chamber music, and Chinese operas.
Since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s, more and more international performing groups visited Shanghai, but there was no theatre suitable for large-scale plays until the 1990s. The Shanghai Municipal People's Government decided to construct a large performing arts complex to satisfy such a need and make it an urban culture centre. In 1994, with a 3000 million RMB government investment, the construction of the SGT started.
The Theater is divided into 8 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground, covering a total area of 62803 m2. The total investment budget is 1.3 billion yuan.
The whole building is a crystal-like palace consisting of three main theaters: the Auditorium, the Buick Theater, and the Studio Theater, with complete ancillary facilities such as ticketing center, Ballet Rehearsal hall, band rehearsal hall, VIP hall, exhibition hall, souvenir shop, coffee bar, banquet hall, and parking garage.
The Auditorium is decorated with warm colors of gold and red. It is mainly for large-scale performances such as operas, symphonies, ballets, dramas, and so forth. The 19.5-meter-high Auditorium covers an area of 1000 m2 and is divided into three levels of stands, with 1631 seats in total. The structural proportion and seating arrangement of the stand ensure that the audience is close to the stage as much as possible and enjoys the performance from the best audio-visual angle.
In the overall design, a Waagner Biro control system is adopted in the full-automatic mechanical stage for lifting, tilting, rotation, ladder, and other transformations. The well-equipped Meyersound's loudspeaker and surrounding sound can meet the requirements of the 5.1 channel. A digital mixer of high fidelity can provide 96 inputs and 64 outputs.
The Buick Theater, with stable walnut color as its main color, is located on the west side of the first floor. It is the performing space for chamber concerts as well as small and medium-sized dramas and is also the venue of public charity performances and art education activities. The Buick Theater is divided into two levels of stands, with 575 seats in total.
