The New Stage of the National Theatre, listed as a cultural monument since 2021, is set to undergo a two-year renovation, its first major overhaul in more than four decades. The project, estimated at around CZK 2.3 billion, will modernize the building’s technologies, improve acoustics , and introduce a flexible auditorium for up to 500 spectators, all while preserving its exterior appearance.

Recognized as one of the most prominent examples of brutalist architecture in the Czech Republic, the New Stage is known not only for its unique design resembling a glass cube, but also as one of Prague’s most controversial buildings.
