Even if referred to as an egg, the concept began from the idea of imitating a pearl or the rising sun. Whatever image it might express, the purpose of the design is very clear: to impress and be recognized immediately and become an iconic feature, a landmark for Beijing. The construction hosts three functions: the Opera House, at the center of the building, seats 2,398; the Concert Hall, located in the eastern part of the building, seats 2,017; the Drama Theater, located in the western part of the building, seats 1,035.
