This is one of my favorite places in Beijing. The place is so beautiful, and you must go here for a show. The guest performers are usually top. I enjoy opera, ballet, and the philharmonic.
The National Centre for the PerformingArts is colloquially described as The Giant Egg, an arts center contains an opera house in Beijing, surrounded by an artificial lake.
Lovely "egg" building! In order to enter, you have to walk underground and resurface in the building. The grand hall is beautiful and the acoustics are delightful.
The place is much larger, than it seems from the outside. Acoustics is great. There is a small bar (terrible) on one side and a small sandwich shop (equally bad) on the other. Great concerts!
under Beijing's usually gray sky, its exterior view is not as breathtaking as on postcards, but it's still worth going inside for a half-day tour. you might run into rehearsals on the top floor, nice.
