Beijing Meilanfang Grand Theatre: See the National Intangible Cultural Heritage

My first dream-come-true moment of 2025: I finally saw the Red-Maned Steed performed by the Yuansutuan Troupe!! The Meilanfang Grand Theatre is named after the Chinese Peking Opera master Mr. Mei Lanfang and is affiliated with the National Peking Opera Company of China. Construction area: more than 13,000 square meters. The building has 5 floors above ground and 2 floors underground. It is a modern performance venue that perfectly combines traditional and modern art, with 1,028 seats. It has multiple functions such as performances, exhibitions, conferences, and audio-visual recording. It is also the first choice for elegant taste, cultivating sentiment, and social gatherings. Location: The Meilanfang Grand Theatre is located at the north end of Financial Street, in the center of the Fuchengmen, Xinjiekou, and Xizhimen business districts. There are 19 government agencies, 20 financial institution headquarters, and more than 2,000 companies and merchants around the theater. It is one of the political and cultural core areas in the western part of Beijing. Building structure: The external structure of the Meilanfang Grand Theatre reflects modern design concepts. The fan-shaped roof supported by a steel frame is matched with a glass roof to form a dynamic structural balance system, forming a smooth, vivid, and musical architectural form. Performance facilities: The interior decoration of the theater incorporates the essence of traditional Chinese architectural forms, with red columns and red walls inlaid with dozens of golden wooden circular reliefs, each of which solidifies and reproduces the essence of Peking Opera passed down over the past 200 years. From a distance, it looks like an open door of art to the world, conveying the profound cultural heritage of Beijing, a historic city, and the inclusive mind of Peking Opera. Modern first-class performance facilities.
