自1933年开业以来，这个由1260人组成的剧院已主办了200多个国际歌剧，并以其优越的音质赢得了国际社会的认可。它的每一个组成部分都是由塔玛尼安设计的自给自足的影院，它的石头结构和声音产生的形式抑制了不必要的噪音反射，从而获得了良好的声音传输。

Since its opening in 1933, the 1,260 person theater complex has acted as host to over 200 international operas and has gained international recognition for its superior acoustic qualities.  Each of its constituent parts were designed by Tamanian as self-sufficient ampitheaters and its stone construction and acoustic-generated form dampens unnecessary noise reflection, resulting in superior sound transmission.
