The theater is located on the first floor of Building C, adjacent to the entrance, with a total area of 1,330 square meters, spread across two levels, and offering 741 seats. The theater's interior design follows an earthy color scheme, with both side walls adorned with a combination of shadow puppetry patterns and traditional Chinese symbols such as the "Fu" character and auspicious clouds, reflecting a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, as well as a mix of tradition and modernity. The seats are primarily upholstered in vibrant red fabric, with certain sections featuring magenta accents, creating a layered, dynamic visual effect that resembles thriving trees, bringing energy to the entire space.
The theater comprises a rotating stage, orchestra seating, balcony seating, a control room, dressing rooms, and other ancillary facilities. Equipped with multiple high-standard sound systems and stage setups, it can accommodate various performances, including operas, ballets, dramas, traditional Chinese opera, orchestral performances, and even film screenings. Managed and operated by Shanghai Media Group (SMG), the theater is open to the public and shares 750 underground parking spaces with the Zhengli Campus, as well as access to Building C's wide range of dining, leisure, and sports facilities.
This mid-sized, high-standard theater embodies the institution's deep commitment to the humanities and cultural development. It is not only one of the cultural landmarks of the Zhengli Campus but is also set to become a cultural destination in Yangpu District and even across all of Shanghai, enriching both the artistic education of students and the cultural lives of nearby residents.
