Chinanews, Beijing, Mar¹. 13 – The National Grand Theatre will allocate² some room as standing³ places so that ordinary people can also come into the theatre to enjoy high-class music. This is in line with the original purpose of building the theatre, said people from the National Grand Theatre Project Owner Committee, the Beijing News reported.

The theatre is located at the west side of the Great Hall of the People. It will adopt a cheap pricing system. Based on the size of its rooms, several to several dozens of standing places will be provided for the public at different places in the theatre.

There is a countdown clock in the theatre, which says that in August 2008, the theatre will kick off service for the Olympic Games; in May 2008, the theatre will hold its debut⁴ performance; in early 2008, it will present a trial performance for the New Year Concert; in July 2007, the theather will be put on a trial use; and in May 2007, construction of the theatre will be completed.

The theatre consists mainly of three parts, the drama hall, the opera hall and the music hall. It will provide some standing places for the public and the price will be around 10-20 yuan each. Of course, the “low price” is only a relative concept. Not the ticket price of every performance given in the National Grand Theatre will be cheap. Even if it is cheap, it only means that the price of performance given in the National Grand Theatre is relatively⁵ cheap compared with the price of the same performance given in other theatres, said the people from the National Grand Theatre Project Owner Committee.
