Trung Vuong Theater

The Trung Vuong Theater wears a distinctive, sweeping concrete roof that arches like a giant fan over the facade. Built in the late nineteen sixties, this performance hall anchored the cultural life of Da Nang during years of upheaval. Before it became a venue for symphony orchestras and local theater troupes, the building served as a gathering spot for American military personnel during the war. It remains a rare example of mid-century civic architecture in a city that transformed almost everywhere else.
