From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Theatre (Ghana)

The National Theatre, opened in 1992 and located in the Victoriaborg district of Accra, Ghana, was built by the Chinese and offered as a gift to Ghana.

It has a building area of 11,896 square metres, and is sited near the junction of the Independence Avenue and Liberia Road. The elegant and imposing National Theatre has a complicated construction moulding and novel exterior features. When looked at from a distance, the whole structure looks like a gigantic ship or a seagull spreading its wings.[1]

The National Theatre houses the three resident companies of the National Dance Company, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the National Theatre Players.[2]
