When completed, the 24-hectare site will be home to over 20 structures, including a sizable research and education center, two concert halls with the capacity to seat 280 and 400 people respectively, dormitories, restaurants, outdoor performance areas and even a lake for boating.
For the meantime, however, the center's staff will be have to busy themselves preparing for the center's second official opening in two months.
The center's concert halls will be opened mid-March to the public and performances of opera, puppetry and dance will begin. It is hoped that then artisans such as Chen Wen-han and his opera troupe will be able to give both local and foreign tourists alike a much-improved understanding of the nation's age-old arts.
