Xploring Budapest Video: National Theatre, Budapest
Designed by Mária Siklós, the construction of the National Theatre was started on 14 September 2000, and was finished at a record-breaking pace in a mere 15 months. The first rehearsals of what would become the inaugural performance, The Tragedy of Man by Imre Madách, started on 2 January 2002, when the artists finally moved in.

Structurally, the theatre is divided into three main units.

The central unit encompasses the circular auditorium and the studio stage, surrounded by the gangways and areas open for public as well as the servicing area that flanks the main stage in the shape of a horseshoe.
