Lyceum Theatre

Lyceum Theatre was built in 1930 at the famous intersection of Maoming Lu and Changle Lu glibly referred to as “Heart of the French Concession”. Before liberation it housed an amateur drama company; Mei Lanfang, Zhou Xinfang, Yu Zhenfei, Zhao Dan, Qin Yi and Zhou Xiaoyan graced its stage with their presence. However, after liberation the building’s functions expanded so much that it lost its calling as a theatre entirely. Now it plays third-grade commercial performances and houses a karaoke club.
