Taichung City, Taiwan
National Taichung Theater (台中国家歌剧院)

An architecture so stunning that looking at it is just like watching the most enchanting opera.

"I am always searching for a building which is something like a ripple on a river - one that can follow the river's currents but maintain its own spatial integrity." (Toyo Ito).


A theatre aimed at reinvigorating the arts scene in Taiwan, the National Taichung Theater is an opera house designed by the world-renowned Japanese architect, Toyo Ito. With an area of about 57,685 square metres, the stunning building is unique and mind-blowing at the same time. The ingeniously designed opera house has a facade which resembles undulating waves and its interior walls flow into the ceilings seamlessly.


Step inside and discover the Grand Theatre, Playhouse, Magical Sky Garden as well as a shopping mall. Do remember to check its website for the latest performances or catch a show at its outdoor theater while enjoying the fascinating fountain.
