## About Shanghai Grand Theatre

The first choice for music and architecture lovers. Built with an investment of US$60 million and designed by a French architect, it has a geometric form, with a white curved roof that sweeps up toward the sky like a crown. Above it are a classical outdoor theatre and a rooftop garden, blending East and West. The seating has been excellently designed, with no obstructed views from any corner. The hall's ceiling features a multi-layered echo design, giving outstanding acoustics. The multifunctional stage is even larger than the audience area. The theatre houses three performance halls and frequently hosts international performances.
