The monumental building, partly surrounded by a city park, with traditional overtones, was opened on October 2, 1965, and was intended primarily for major opera and ballet performances of the classical and modern repertoire.

The opera and ballet theatre has been comprehensively designed to include all necessary artistic, social and technical operations. The axis of the stage area consists of a stage with a turntable, which is connected at the back and two side stages. In addition to rehearsal rooms for orchestra, soloists, choir and ballet, there are dressing rooms, painters, workshops, storage rooms and other accessories.

They are surrounded on three floors by public spaces, operationally interconnected and optically interconnected.
