Students rehearsing outside the Drama Theatre On the third floor of the Drama Theatre is the Experimental Theatre, which has a capacity of 180-242 seats, and is the first in Asia to utilize the "Tension Cord Canopy" (commonly known as the "Loofah Canopy"). It is the first small theater in Asia to adopt the "Tension Cord Roof" (commonly known as the "Melon Shelter"), which is made of many steel cables, and can simultaneously withstand 20 staff members under 75 kilograms of weight to set up the stage, and allows the designer to suspend the scenery and lights from anywhere. The National Theater has been used by many of the country's major performing groups for their performances. The National Theater is styled in the Chinese style, with a roof similar to that of the Forbidden City's Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing, a hipped roof that is rare in Taiwan, a large red colonnade surrounding the building, and crystal chandeliers in the foyer that reach up to four floors high. The soundproofing inside the venue is of international standard. All ceilings, floors, and walls have been carefully designed and measured to show the most perfect soundproofing effect. National Concert Hall Located to the left of the CKS Memorial Hall, the National Concert Hall is the most advanced music performance space in China, often hosting chamber music, symphony and other large-scale music events, with three levels of auditoriums*** and a capacity of 2,074 spectators. The pipe organ in the National Music Hall is said to be the largest pipe organ in Asia. Yellow Roof Tiles, Carved Decorations, Red Columns and Archives The Concert Hall has a 363-seat recital hall on the ground floor, which offers small-scale performances such as recitals and chamber music, as well as lectures, presentations or demonstration lectures, etc. The concert hall is the most exquisite performance venue among the two halls of the courtyard, and is also the best venue for contemporary Taiwanese composers to showcase their work. On the ground floor, there is also the National Concert Hall Cultural Gallery, a promenade-style exhibition space for cultural and art-related activities. The roof of the Concert Hall is similar to that of the Bohol Hall of the Forbidden City, with a slightly lower status than that of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. However, it shares the same traditional Chinese architectural appearance as the Drama Theatre, which is y traditional in color, with its hermetically shaped roofs, yellow roof tiles, carved red columns and archways, all of which demonstrate the deep roots of Chinese culture, and the foyer has a three-story-high crystal chandelier. Two Halls Plaza There are four plazas in the Two Halls Plaza***: Main Plaza, Theater Terrace, Concert Hall Terrace, and Terrace. The Two Halls Plaza not only hosts various performances and activities, but also provides venue rental services, such as The Plaza Art Festival, outdoor broadcasts of famous symphony orchestras, and outdoor performances by "Cloud Gate Dance Theater" or "Ming Hua Yuan" allow the public to enjoy more opportunities to appreciate the performing arts. In the face of the Vienna Philharmonic's outdoor broadcast gathering more than 60,000 fans, conductor Seiji Ozawa said, "I've never seen so many outdoor soulmates! Services At the time of its completion and opening in 1987, the Piazza provided services in the areas of venue management and operation, hosting programs and promoting performing arts events and lectures, providing information on the performing arts, operating the ticketing system, and lending audiovisual books related to the performing arts. Waste Bins in the Plaza After the administrative restructuring of the Center's website and performing arts database, the functions of the website have been greatly enhanced and it has become an important portal and database for the performing arts in Taiwan. The "Two Halls Ticketing System" has been completely updated to include 24-hour online ticketing, as well as the ability to sell tickets for arts, culture, and entertainment across Taiwan.
