Jointly designed by the famous Finnish architects, Pekka Salminen Architects, and Shanghai Xian Dai Architectural Design (Group), Wuxi Grand Theatre stands at the south bank of Li Hu Lake in southwestern Wuxi. The wing-shaped theatre, which looks like a dragonfly resting on the lake with outstretched wings, finely complements the nearby Li Hu Bridge. Upon completion in 2011, the Theatre will open to the public with a 1700-seat large-scale opera theatre and a 700-seat multifunctional hall for various cultural activities and art performances such as drama, ballet, concerts, fashion shows and other major events.
