National Theater of Cuba, Performance venue at Plaza de la Revolucion, Havana, Cuba
The National Theater features two principal auditoriums, the Sala Covarrubias and Sala Avellaneda, with a combined capacity of 3,500 spectators.
Construction began in 1952 under President Fulgencio Batista's administration, with architectural inspiration drawn from Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The theater presents a wide range of performances including ballet productions, theatrical plays, musicals, orchestral concerts, and educational workshops.
The theater complex includes extensive facilities with dressing rooms, workshops, a library, and a separate building for ticket purchases.
The building remained partially incomplete for decades until 1979, when it finally opened fully to become a central part of Cuban performing arts.
