The reconstruction works were commissioned by the State Service for the Protection, Development and Restoration of Cultural Heritage under the Ministry of Culture.

On the second floor, there are rooms for sound and light operators and a film projection room. The stage was reconstructed as well. The building was provided with new telecommunication systems.

The theatre successfully stages works of such prominent figures as Fatali Akhundov, Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, Jafar Jabbarli, Samad Vurgun, etc.
