when was this built? When I visited, there was only the old theatre building.

Additional re-construction, 1977 to 1983 and after

Laterna magikaArchitect Zden%u011Bk Vávra was appointed to take charge of
the overall reconstruction work. This extensive project was combined
with the completion of work on the entire setting of the theatre. The
work was completed to meet an important deadline which was the date of
the 100th anniversary of the opening of the National Theatre: November
18, 1983. On that day the theatre was handed over to the public again
with a performance of Smetana%u2019s Libu%u0161e.

Nowadays this historic, extremely prestigious and beautiful building,
together with the annex of a modern office building which also
includes the main box office, represents the main stage of the three
artistic ensembles of the National Theatre: the drama, opera and
ballet.
