 Their original proposal, influenced by Le Corbusier’s ideas of ‘’flowing spaces’’, comprised two buildings – a complex T-shaped public services building with a 1,000 seat theatre hall, large dancing space, a library for 200,000 volumes and winter gardens, and a detached 4,000 seat main theatre.The latter, based on Kharkiv theatre draft, did not materialize.The smaller hall was inaugurated in 1933, construction of the public services building dragged until 1937.
