The Shangyin Opera House opens its doors for the first time on October 18 and looks to be a fine addition to Shanghai's classical music scene. This eight-story project by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music has an impressive horseshoe-shaped opera house, four rehearsal rooms, a lecture hall, and a handful of terraces on the top floor. The opera house itself has 1,200 seats across four tiers, with a touchscreen display fitted in the back of each one that shows subtitles in nine different languages. They have pulled out all the stops for this one.
