Shanghai Yi Fu Theater

Yi Fu Theater has the longest history and the largest scale of any Chinese opera theater in Shanghai. It was once known as Tian Chan Theater. Since its establishment in 1925, Tian Chan Theater has featured Peking Opera performances and has been favored by many famous Chinese opera artists. Early on, it became the 'Largest Theater in the Far East'.

Around 1990 the theater was rebuilt and renamed Yi Fu Theater. In 1994, the new theater opened to the public with an elegant appearance and advanced facilities. Now Yi Fu Theater offers nearly 1,000 seats on two floors. The Peking Opera is still the trump card of this theater. Other traditional Chinese opera performances are also available.

 Address: No. 701, Fuzhou Road, Huangpu District
Transportation: Take bus nos. 14, 17, 18, 46, 96, or subway lines 1, 2 or 8.
