The Hyogo Performing Arts Center

The Hyogo Performing Arts Center (HPAC) (兵庫県立芸術文化センター, Hyōgo-kenritsu Geijutsu Bunka Sentā) is a performing arts center in the city of Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, next to Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station operated by Hankyu Corporation. The Center was opened in 2005 to mark the ten-year anniversary of the Great Hanshin earthquake which largely devastated Nishinomiya and the surrounding cities.[1]

The HPAC produces opera, ballet, theater, orchestral and chamber music performances, and is home to the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra.

Architectural design is by Nikken Sekkei with acoustical engineering by Nagata Acoustics.[2][3] The architectural design received an Architectural Institute of Japan Architectural Design Commendation in 2007.[4]
