三个音乐厅已被安排成单独的卷在一个天然的石板座建筑，以适应服务功能。西南方的歌剧院有1，600个座位和一个600平方米的舞台，通向一个新建的湖泊。

Three concert halls have been arranged as separate volumes on a natural stone-clad plinth building that accommodates the service functions. The opera house to the south-west with its 1,600 seats and a 600 square-meter stage opens out to a newly created lake.

按照古典歌剧院的传统，座位被布置成马蹄形。货摊和阳台是通过门厅和楼梯安排到达的。柔和弯曲的木镶板表面创造了温暖的室内气氛，1.5至1.8秒的混响时间提供了理想的声学条件。

Following the tradition of classical opera houses, the seating has been laid out in the shape of a horseshoe. The stalls and balconies are reached via a foyer and an arrangement of stairs. Softly curved wood-paneled surfaces create a warm interior atmosphere, and the reverberation time of 1.5 to 1.8 seconds provides ideal acoustic conditions.

音乐厅有1200个座位，位于东侧，设计成一个圆形舞台区域的长方形六边形。它的特点是一个有64个寄存器的风琴，因此适合广泛的音乐表演，从室内乐到像布鲁克纳这样的作曲家的交响乐音乐会。墙壁和天花板上的宽木条为视觉外观提供了一定的节奏顺序。

The concert hall with its 1,200 seats is located on the eastern side and has been designed as an oblong hexagon with a rounded stage area. It features an organ with 64 registers and is therefore suitable for a wide repertoire of musical performances ranging from chamber music to symphony concerts by composers like Bruckner. Wide wooden stripes on walls and ceilings provide a certain rhythmic order to the visual appearance.

最小的大厅有550个座位，是一个多功能大厅，位于北方。它的电子控制声学确保混响时间可以用无限的可变性来调节。在升降平台的帮助下，可以创建用于音乐、芭蕾和剧院表演以及时装秀的不同阶段场景。

The smallest hall, with 550 seats, is a multi-functional hall and is located to the north. Its electronically controlled acoustics ensure that the reverberation time can be adjusted with infinite variability. Different stage scenarios for music, ballet, and theater performances as well as fashion shows can be created with the help of lift platforms.

这三个场馆建筑是由一个共享的，看似浮动的屋顶统一起来的。类似于立面，它是一个巨大的百叶窗结构，这是由一个钢框架子结构和白色折叠铝板作为覆层。从永河对岸或南宁大桥入路看，南宁和广西这一优秀文化中心的白色容光焕发，与周围环境形成鲜明对比。根据这一观点，建筑的轮廓发生了动态的变化，与广西典型的自然喀斯特地貌形成了联系。

The three venue buildings are unified by a shared, seemingly floating roof. Similar to the facades, it appears as a large structure of louvers, which has been constructed with a steel frame substructure and white folded aluminum panels as cladding. When viewed from the opposite bank of the River Yong or from the approach via Nanning Bridge, the radiant white shape of this outstanding culture center of Nanning and the Guangxi province appears confidently in contrast to its surroundings. Depending on the viewpoint, the silhouette of the building changes dynamically, evoking associations with the natural karst formations that are so typical of the Guangxi landscape.
