The new theatre is designed as a multi-purpose theatre for the Provincial government. It will feature a 1,200-seat auditorium for performance arts including theatre, opera, musicals and dance.
The design of the theatre features two protective wings enclosing the theatre auditorium like a shell. The smooth shape and flowing forms blend with the natural landscape and background of the Kanas Mountains. These sweeping forms rise around the theatre shell resembling the dynamic movement of traditional Chinese ribbon dance.
Broadway Malyan has given the design package to the local design institute and will monitor the detail design and site build. Enabling works are already underway on the site with work on the main structure due to begin in mid-2011.
