The 1,300-seat main auditorium has been significantly upgraded, and for the first time in its 190-year history, the building offers step-free access to all levels. The refurbishment includes new architectural lighting that complements the historic interiors, as well as the addition of a performance studio, a creative learning space, and a contemporary café bar. The transformation aims to enrich the visitor experience and support a variety of cultural activities.
