A giant opera house shaped like a Chinese fan is being built in Shanghai and will soon open its doors.
According to "Renmin Ribao", the building's most striking feature is a white spiral staircase extending to the roof. This architectural element makes the theater resemble an open Chinese fan when viewed from above.
The cultural complex covers a total area of 146,000 square meters. Inside, there are three halls with capacities of 2,000, 1,200, and 1,000 seats. The main hall spans 3,500 square meters, making it the largest in Asia.
The new theater is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
