The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) is an arts centre and opera house in Xicheng, Beijing. Colloquially called 'The Boiled Egg,' it opened in 2007 and is the largest theatre complex in Asia. Designed by French architect Paul Andreu, the building is semi-spherical with a steel shell made of over 18,000 titanium plates and more than 1,200 pieces of ultra-white glass. It sits on the south side of Chang'an Street, near Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People, and is surrounded by an artificial lake. Visitors enter through an 80-meter underwater passage.

Một chút lịch sử
Construction was delayed for reevaluation after a Paris airport terminal collapse. The building extends ten stories underground, making 60% of its area subterranean, to stay below the height of the nearby Great Hall of the People. Engineers built a concrete underground wall to manage groundwater buoyancy without causing settlement in surrounding areas.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
How many seats are in each performance hall?
The Opera Hall has 2,207 seats, the Music Hall has 1,859 seats (including standing), and the Theatre Hall has 1,036 seats (including standing).
Why is the building shaped like an egg?
Architect Paul Andreu designed it to complement the red walls of ancient buildings and the Great Hall of the People, using large open space, water, and trees to blend into the surroundings.
Does the artificial lake freeze in winter?
No, the lake does not freeze because a closed circulation system injects constant-temperature groundwater to keep the water temperature above zero degrees Celsius.
Why is so much of the complex underground?
About 60 percent of the building lies below ground so that it remains lower than the nearby Great Hall of the People.
