National Theater and Concert Hall

The National Theater and Concert Hall are a paired performing-arts complex in Taipei that serve as Taiwan’s principal national venues for theater, dance and orchestral music. The two halls sit on Liberty Square alongside the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.

Two distinct auditoria present a year-round schedule of opera, theatre, dance, orchestral concerts and festivals, with resident ensembles and visiting international companies. Public programs include performances, education initiatives and staged exhibitions related to the performing arts.

Built as part of a major civic complex, the two venues were developed to provide national-scale facilities for performing arts and culture. They have since hosted domestic and international productions and have become central to Taipei’s cultural calendar.

Located in central Taipei on Liberty Square, the complex is within walking distance of major transport nodes and is a focal point of civic and cultural activity.
