The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), also known as "The Giant Egg" due to its distinctive oval shape, is a premier cultural facility located in Beijing, China. Designed by French architect Paul Andreu, the NCPA was inaugurated in 2007 and features a titanium and glass dome surrounded by an artificial lake. This modern architectural marvel houses three main performance halls: the Opera House, the Concert Hall, and the Theater, providing a versatile venue for a wide range of performances including opera, classical music, and drama.
