MAD Architects have unveiled the completed Harbin Opera House, located in the Northern Chinese city of Harbin. In 2010, MAD won the international open competition for Harbin Cultural Island, a master plan for an opera house, a cultural centre, and the surrounding wetland landscape along Harbin’s Songhua River. The sinuous opera house is the focal point of the Cultural Island, occupying a building area of approximately 850,000 sq ft of the site’s 444 acres total area. It features a grand theatre that can host over 1,600 patrons and a smaller theatre to accommodate an intimate audience of 400.
