Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre

Anfu Road’s theatre address adds a performance-led reason to spend an evening in this walkable part of Xuhui.

Location
288 Anfu Road, Xuhui

A place worth knowing

The centre’s dramatic programme sits alongside the street’s shops and places to eat, making it easy to plan the surrounding hours once you have chosen a show. Check the auditorium, language and session on your booking, since one building can host different productions. Arrive for the performance you booked rather than treating the theatre as an attraction with continuous admission.
