Built on the block where the Sichuan Conservatory tower was blown up in August 2016, the Chengdu City Concert Hall took its first performance in December 2018 and came into full use in 2019. The design by the German practice GMP, chosen from thirty-four competition entries, wraps the complex in the form of a woven bamboo lantern and holds an opera hall of 1,500 seats, a concert hall of 1,300, a drama hall of 400, a small hall of 200 and an outdoor theatre. It is run jointly by the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Chengdu Radio and Television and the Chengdu City Investment Group.
