Qidong Poly Theater, located on Jianghai South Road and Qiantang River Road, has been completed and is ready to welcome audiences. Covering an area of 38,000 square meters in total, it boasts a large theater hall that can hold 1,205 people and a smaller one for 408 people.

The large hall can accommodate operas, music concerts, and other large-scale shows, as well as conferences. The trapezium design allows the audience to enjoy the audiovisual effects fully wherever they sit.

The 1,355-sq-m stage employs the standard international layout and can be freely changed between a plane state and a multistep state. The state can be switched on short notice.

The smaller hall covers an area of over 600 sq m and is meant for small-scale performances. It is also equipped with multipurpose rooms, training classrooms, rehearsal rooms, and studios.

In the future, the theater is expected to hold five major series of unique performances and become a center for Chinese and foreign cultural exchange, as well as a place to showcase excellent artistic works from around the world.
