History
According to the “Constructing County/City Cultural Center” project proclaimed by the Ministry of Education in Jan. 1979, the No. 5 Proposed Park Construction Site was chosen as the site for Xinying Cultural Center.
The ground-breaking and construction began in 1981; it was completed, as well as opened, on Oct. 8, 1983. The engineering of interior facilities of the Music Hall was begun on Aug. 12, 1985 and officially put into use on April 19, 1986.
With the subsidy from the Council for Cultural Affairs in 2010, the front building structure, performance facilities, and exhibition space of the Xinying Cultural Center were renovated and later reopened in June 2011. From 2013 to 2015, the Music Hall was refurbished by improving the professional theater level lighting, audio equipment, backstage space, and seats. The hall entrance was expanded and extended to the hall waiting space, and plaza scenery and night lighting were added. The hall was renamed the “Xinying Cultural Center Performance Hall” in the hope of transforming the center into the highlight of the Xinying Art Park, using the brand new space of the center to offer visitors high-quality art services.
