Changchun's restored Fengle Theatre to host orchestral New Year concert
Designated a municipal cultural relics protection unit in 2002 and included in Changchun's first list of historic buildings in 2007, the site later suffered structural damage that prompted its recent restoration. Work began in late 2024, guided by a principle of minimum intervention, according to chief designer Zheng Ning. Historical drawings and photographs were used to reconstruct facade and interior details, while modern infrastructure was added to support contemporary performances.
Acoustic specialist, Yang Zhigang, said the renovated hall now meets international sound standards for venues of its size. Lighting designers worked within strict heritage protection requirements to adapt the stage lighting without changing the building's external appearance.
