The city's new concert hall has opened to cheers for its acoustics and architecture. Guest conductor Gustavo Dudamel is a big fan, Zhang Kun reports in Shanghai.

Aconcert hall is like an instrument for an orchestra, Gustavo Dudamel said after leading the debut performance at the new music hall of the Shanghai Symphony last month with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

It was the first foreign orchestra to perform at the new music hall, which opened on Sept 6.
