From the time the idea for a national theatre came about, it would take another 37 years until the time the theatre opened. The theatre presented its first performance on June 11, 1881. Two months later, large sections of the National Theatre were destroyed by a fire caused by builders still finishing up the project. Collections were again taken and the building under went construction and opened once again in November of 1983.
