Showtime returns

On July 24, the Shanghai Concert Hall will join the Shanghai Opera House to premiere the immersive concert production La Traviata, in which artists will sing from the balcony, by the columns in the lobby, and at other locations in the concert hall, rather than on the stage. The concert hall plans to present two of these immersive concerts every month.

In July and August, the concert hall will present the Music Infinity series that showcases experimental music, new media and a blend of sounds of Chinese and Western musical instruments.

From Aug 12 to 14, the Shanghai Concert Hall will host a mini music festival that will have salons and workshops on Bach, as well as concerts featuring Bach-inspired compositions by emerging Chinese artists.

Residents who want to visit these venues should have a green health code and negative nucleic acid test result within 72 hours. Those without smartphones can apply for an offline health code in advance and carry their identification cards.
