Both halls of the theatre have been completely destroyed. We
already know that the reconstruction of the space will take months
and run into tens of millions. Most of high-priced technical
equipment (lights, speakers, sound control boards, computers, etc.)
that is movable has been saved thank to the prompt action of the
staff and other helpers. Unfortunately, the water flooded all the
built-in technologies, ventilation, the machine shop, wiring,
mechanical floors, moveable walls, storage space, etc.
