New stage floors have been installed, the technical floor construction and galleries have been renewed. With the dismantling of the old obsolete counterweight scenery mechanisms, the space of the stage expanded, and the aesthetic appearance of the stage changed substantially.
During the reconstruction, 35 sets of motorized high-speed scenery hoists with speed up to 1.5 m/s, 6 new lighting bridges, 4 point mobile chain hoists, motorized rear curtain and side curtain tracks, advanced control desks with intuitive and rich features are installed.
At the front of the stage, a system of four motorized platforms with travel distance of 2.8m and a moving barrier separating the auditorium from the stage are installed in the orchestra pit. By changing the positions of the orchestra platforms and changing their mutual positions, it is possible to change the shape of the front of the stage in various ways, giving the directors the opportunity to realize various new scenographic ideas, raising the quality of performances and forming various visual views. Raising the stage platforms to the floor level of the stage can increase the stage space to the side of the auditorium, lowering the platforms and the barrier to the floor level of the auditorium can increase the number of seats by adding additional front rows of chairs.
A new 12m diameter turntable was installed, replacing the old one. The new turntable is controlled from the main control desk together with upper stage scenery hoists and its movement and speed can be programmed to operate synchronously with all scenery bars and other remotely controlled devices. The new turntable integrates two automated actor lifts – that allow two actors to rise from under the floor to the stage level according to a pre-programmed scenario.
During the reconstruction of the stage, other works important for the quality of the theater were performed – a new sound system was installed, a new stage lighting system was installed, the stage manager workplace was installed and other small but theater staff also need to repair the stage premises.
