Photo Essay: Guangzhou Opera House
Under construction since 2005, the Zaha Hadid-designed Guangzhou Opera House has finally been completed. Commissioned by the Guangzhou Municipal Government and estimated to have cost CNY 1.38 billion, the 70,000sqm complex overlooking the Pearl River is Hadid's first built project in mainland China, and is designed to accommodate the acoustic specifications of both European and Chinese opera. Visiting Guangzhou for the Feb 27 opening reception of his solo exhibition at Vitamin Creative Space, Berlin-based Singaporean media artist Ming Wong attended the Feb 25-26 architectural review of the opera house on behalf of ART iT, and reports back with photos.
