The National Centre for the Performing Arts is an opera building in Beijing located immediately west of Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People. Inside, it is divided into three major performance halls. It cost a total of 3.2 billion RMB to build, and this has caused some problems in its operations, particularly with operational costs and ticket prices.
