Phot.Beijing.National.Theatre.Night.01.100819.6768.jpg
China, Beijing, …starry, starry night, the “Birds Egg”, the nickname for the Grand National Theatre, west of the Tiananmen Square with the Great Hall of the People & diagonal opposite the Forbidden City.
The ellipsoid dome of titanium & glass is surrounded by an artificial lake, the entrance is leading into the building after walking through a tunnel like hallway underneath the lake. Small unregularly placed lights installed on the outside shell of the construction seem to blend in with the stars on the sky,…if it is not clouded, but even so
The arts centre containing an opera, music & theatre hall, with a total of seats 5,452 people in the three halls with almost 12,000 m² in size. Construction, designed by French architect Paul Andreu, started in December 2001, the inaugural concert was held in December 2007.
The dome measures 212 mtr by 144 mtr & is 46 meters, seven floors public area high. The main entrance is at the north side. Guests arrive in the building after walking through a hallway that goes underneath the lake.
Photo taken from the border of the pool surrounding the National Theatre above the main entrance, with the lightened, glass roof covered “tunnel” leading towards the building.
