The Chang'an Grand Theatre (长安大戏院), located on the north on East Changan Street, is a theatre in Beijing that specializes on Beijing opera (Peking opera) performances. Opened in 1996, the Chang'an Grand Theatre is a modern Peking opera theatre which displays modern facilities such as advanced highlights, multi-functional stage and computer controlled sound and light systems. In its interior, it features a Ming Dynasty recreated design and traditional Peking opera theatre decorations.[1] It is one of Beijing's most popular Peking opera theatres, and because of its modern design, it is regarded as one of the best Peking opera theatres for acoustics.[2] Unlike many other opera theatres, it features English subtitles above the stage.[2] The theatre's second floor also contains a museum which exhibits Peking opera costumes, make-up and artifacts.
