Until it was built there were no purpose-built indoor theatres for the local arts, apart from the few open air amphitheatres.
Concerts are regularly held in one of the chambers, which forms a natural amphitheatre.
The two-story building had three levels, with a 180-seat theater and a 300-seat amphitheater.
In the southern part of the field there is space for the arena with a natural amphitheatre.
A hundred spectators had gathered around the amphitheater to witness the impressive scene.
An amphitheater was added to the memorial in 1986.
The amphitheater was built after an extremely overcrowded concert in 1984 to carry crowds of 25,000 fans during concerts.
With the demolition of the amphitheater in 2013, the show will be moved to a new location.
