Zhuhai Opera House Building

Zhuhai Opera House is located on the shores of the island in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, China, where the surging Pearl River meets the South China Sea and becomes calm. 

Every day the dance-like convergence of the river and sea, the tide’s ebb and flow is a spectacular scene in which architecture needs to show awareness and sensitivity in responding to this vast natural environment and avoid interrupting it which took billions of years to build up. Therefore, the design incorporates a humble attitude in the face of the ocean and the earth and becomes an integral part of nature.

珠海歌剧院大楼

珠海歌剧院位于中国广东省珠海市的岛岸边，汹涌的珠江与南海交汇，变得平静。 每天江海交汇、潮起潮落、潮起潮落，是一幅壮观的景象，建筑需要表现出对这广阔自然环境的反应意识和敏感性，避免中断它花费了数十亿年的时间. 因此，设计融入了面对海洋和地球的谦逊态度，成为自然不可分割的一部分。

With a total building area of 59,000 square meters, including 1,550 seat opera house, 550 seat multi-function theater, and 350 seat outdoor theater, the form of Zhuhai Opera House is from the natural flow curve, and the overall outline spreads along the coastal plane. It is light and dynamic. Inspiration for the layout of the site comes from the receding tides in the evening, accompanied by the moon rise. The sea and the sky gradually merged into one another, forming an ancient poetic conception of “The river tides fluctuate along the sea level and the moon cycles together”. Zhuhai opera house, built in 2017, has become a landmark in the city. From Zhuhai’s most famous Lovers Road, from the Pearl River’s impending ocean, and from the bridge connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay, the Opera House hopes to blend naturally into the sea and the sky with a pure and elegant image.

The building is like covered with translucent silk, light and mesmerizing, forming a natural transition from the building to the environment. The entire interior of the building is also in a dramatic environment created with light. Sunlight, moonlight, and theater lights can blend with each other across the facade allowing the building to be filled with tension in silence.

总建筑面积5.9万平方米，包括1550座歌剧院、550座多功能剧院、350座露天剧场，珠海歌剧院的形态取自自然流线曲线，整体轮廓沿沿海延伸飞机。它轻巧而充满活力。场地布局的灵感来自傍晚退潮，伴随着月出。 海天一色，逐渐交融，形成了“江潮随海平面起伏，月相轮回”的古老诗意。珠海歌剧院建于 2017 年，已成为这座城市的地标。从珠海最著名的情人路，从珠江临海，从连接粤港澳湾的大桥，歌剧院希望以纯净优雅的形象自然融入海天一色。就像覆盖着半透明的丝绸，轻盈而迷人，形成了从建筑到环境的自然过渡。建筑物的整个内部也处于一个用光创造的戏剧性环境中。阳光、月光和剧院灯光可以在立面上相互融合，让建筑在寂静中充满张力。

Secondly, in order to express the elegance and grandeur of the auditorium of the Opera House, we adopt an axis-symmetrical pattern and a horseshoe-shaped layout in which the auditorium and the balcony rise gradually and use the latest three-dimensional digital technology for inspection and design so that all audiences have high quality performances. In addition, the auditorium design also pays special attention to the acoustic design of the performance and the requirements of the stage machinery, and integrates all the acoustic reverberations and sound-absorbing treatments into the overall design.

The color design of the auditorium is inspired by evening when the vast tumult sea gradually calms down, waiting for the magnificent moonrise. Through the gradient and contrasting colors, it satisfies the principle of darker colors in the proscenium wall, and displays the natural evolution from the canopy to the ground. The environment is ethereal and awe-inspiring, and it is very uniform with the atmosphere before the performance. At the same time, Zhuhai Opera House has also obtained a unique indoor artistic environment.

其次，为了表现歌剧院礼堂的优雅和气势，我们采用了轴对称图案和马蹄形布局，礼堂和阳台逐渐上升，并使用最新的三维数字技术检查和设计，以便所有观众都有高质量的表演。此外，礼堂设计还特别注重演出的声学设计和舞台机械的要求，将所有的声学混响和吸音处理融入到整体设计中。 礼堂的色彩设计灵感来自浩瀚的喧嚣的海面逐渐平静，等待壮丽的月出的傍晚。通过渐变色和对比色，满足了舞台墙壁颜色较深的原则，展现了从树冠到地面的自然演变。环境空灵大气，与演出前的气氛十分协调。同时，珠海歌剧院也获得了独特的室内艺术环境。
