the ground-breaking ceremony for the second-stage main construction of the taichung
metropolitan opera house was held on dec. 3, 2009.
the theater is expected to cost NT.36 billion (US5 million) and will take over four
years to complete. the opera house is now on track for a december 2013 ribbon-cutting.
according to taichung city officials, the project was put up for bid five times over the past
several years but failed to attract suitable tenders due to associated engineering challenges.
while other major cities in taiwan are all known for something, taichung, a city of roughly
1 million residents whose name means 'central taiwan' in chinese, has trouble finding
anything to distinguish itself from taiwan's other metropolises. today it is seen as one of
the most cultural cities in taiwan.
