Shanghai Grand Theatre (Shanghai Da Juyuan)
A truly grand eight-story space-age complex of glass and more glass, Shanghai's Grand Theatre, boasting three theatres (the largest seating 1800), is the city's premier venue for international performances, dramas, and concerts. There used to be guided tours allowing visitors to view the main auditorium (second floor), the VIP Room (third floor), and the Ballet Studio (fifth floor), but unfortunately visiting hours for individuals have been restricted to Monday morning between 9 and 11am. Otherwise, your only chance to check out the theatre is to attend an evening performance. Tour groups can visit at any time with prior arrangements.
