Description
The corner building houses The National Drama School (established 1936) and The National Ballet School (established 1939) alongside its heritage auditorium. Inside, grand staircases and preserved vintage architecture evoke an earlier era. While the space yields clear acoustics and unimpeded views from all seats, the historical setup has noticeable trade-offs: upstairs seating requires climbing stairs and the narrow seats place theatregoers close together.
