The National Grand Theatre in Beijing is also known as The Giant Egg.
The entrance is actually beneath an artificial lake.
The Opera House could seat 2,416 people.
Come upstairs, you'll see sculpture of Aida, an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi.
The dome is made of 18,000 titanium plates and 1,200 sheets of ultra-white glass.
Over that red wall is Tiananmen Square.
It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu, who also designed the Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Endless Sailing III, from Greek artist Vangelis Rinas.
Inside the Music Hall. The unique texture of the ceiling helps improving sound quality.
