The National Theatre is funded through donations, government grants and entrance fees. In the 1990s, the financial resources were very limited, so only irregularly performances were held. Since the beginning of the 2000s there is a regular game plan, and stage plays, operas, concerts and musicals are performed.
The theater consists of various rehearsal rooms and the main hall with 471 seats and a smaller hall with 250 seats.
