The interior also features fin-de-siècle grandeur, with a marble staircase and a very elegant foyer. The productions here are primarily opera and drama, but also include some dance and occasional music performances.

This alternative theatre company specializes in open air theatre and street performances, and incoporates a lot of movement into their works.
