Stan Lai's "Secret Love In Peach Blossom Land" was staged at Hangzhou Yuhang Opera last weekend. 

He Jiong and Sun Li, protagonists of the drama, praised the beauty of the theater on Sina Weibo. 

Nestled between the bustling city of Hangzhou and the calm shores of the East Lake, the Hangzhou Yuhang Opera cuts a distinctive profile in the skyline, its landscaped peaks appearing to dip beneath the water's glassy surface. The new building forms the heart of a new cultural node in Yuhang, a fast-growing district in the metropolis of Hangzhou. The new structure houses a broad range of culturally oriented spaces, including a 1400-seat multipurpose auditorium, a 500-seat black box theatre, an exhibition center, and supporting facilities.

Crucial to the design was the East Lake, an expanse of water that lies at the heart of the surrounding park and forms the shimmering, reflective backdrop for the new Opera. While at first glance an established landscape, the lake was, in fact, part of Henning Larsen's winning competition design, mirroring Hangzhou's famed West Lake and creating a geographically contrasting node for culture in the urban region.

A meandering promenade circles the lake, passing through small pocket parks (including a traditional Chinese water garden) and commercial facilities. The exterior edge of the park borders a high-speed rail station that has been instrumental in Yuhang's recent growth and will welcome even more visitors to the new cultural destination. The opera dominates the lake and the surroundings with a publicly accessible sloping landscape reminiscent in form and scale to ancient humanmade landforms that have been discovered in the region.

The theater was designed by Henning Larsen, an international architectural firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
