The construction of the New National Theatre in Tirana is progressing at a good pace. Prime Minister Edi Rama shared pictures from the construction site of the New National Theatre on social media today.

“Work is underway to bring to life a building that will be another impressive architectural work of 21st-century Tirana and an icon of art and culture right in the heart of the capital,” writes Rama

The New Theatre in Tirana, designed by world-renowned architect Bjarke Ingels, is expected to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the region.

This theatre will provide the best environment for actors and spectators and will stand with dignity among the best of its kind in Europe.

The new theatre will feature several dedicated spaces for performances and actors. Specifically, it will have an auditorium space of 750 square meters with over 600 seats, including boxes. Additionally, it will have a theatre stage of 630 square meters and two Black Box halls, each 200 square meters.

There will be a 200-square-meter space used as a dressing room, a 200-square-meter rehearsal hall, toilets and showers, and a green room dedicated for artists. In addition, there will be a musical instruments room, a stage decor storage room, a technicians’ room, and more to support various artistic performances. There will be classrooms and all the necessary facilities for the public too.
