Some hold the view that the two halls are Western theatres packed within a Chinese palace. Others have said that the entrance to the passage way for stage props is too narrow, thus making it impossible for delivery trucks to enter. Still others are critical and feel that there should be more practice rooms other than the two mirrored ballet rooms.
有人對兩廳院這種將西方劇場構造塞入中國宮殿式建築的做法提出質疑；有人認為劇院佈景道具出入口過窄、狹長通道無法讓卡車直接駛近舞台卸貨，是一項疏漏；也有人對音樂廳中有二間設備新穎的芭蕾舞鏡室，而居然沒有專為交響樂團設計的練習室感到不解。
