德和园大戏楼今亮新颜 将恢复至光绪时期最好面貌

21日，随着金龙和玺彩画的最后一笔收笔，中国现存保存最完整、建筑规模最大的皇家戏楼——德和园大戏楼亮出新颜。依照清光绪时期重绘的各式彩画纹样和玺彩画，也使这座历经百年的古戏楼恢复了皇家戏楼原本的雄伟与韵味。

Beijing (CNS) –– Restoration of the Grand Theater Building in Dehe Yuan (Garden of Virtue and Harmony) was completed on Sunday.

Situated in the Summer Palace, it was the biggest of the three main theaters in operation during the Qing Dynasty, and comprises a three-story stage and a two-story building for dressing rooms and makeup.

Construction of Dehe Yuan began in the 17th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1891), after which it witnessed the summit of Peking Opera.

This restoration of Dehe Yuan started on October 10 and will be completed by the end of November. Its last restoration was in 1955.
