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.

[3] 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.

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.

[6] 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.

At the entrance of the small theater, there are coin dispensers and parcel cabinets to provide mineral water and deposit services for the audience.

Shanghai Grand Theater actively combines domestic and foreign performing arts and production resources and presents world classics to Chinese audiences in the way of its own after integrating national elements and characteristics.
