The front of this cylindrical building, covered with large-sized blue glass sheets, resembles unfolded bellows of accordion.

The theatre in harmony with elegance, magnificence and elaboration has a floor space of more than 50,000 square meters, and it is equipped with all necessary conditions ranging from art creation to performance and viewing.

The People's Theatre is a fruition of Chairman Kim Jong Il's warm love for the citizens.

The Chairman had long mapped out the construction of this theatre and showed deep care for it even in the last period of his life.

He named the theatre and appointed its site in an excellent location and indicated in detail the matters arising in its construction and operation.

The construction of the theatre was not suspended even after the sudden demise of the Chairman on December 17, Juche 100 (2011).

Going round the theatre nearing completion, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said that if the Chairman who devoted all his life to the people had seen it as a grand monumental edifice, he would have been very satisfied.

The opening performance splendidly took place at the theatre in April Juche 101 (2012).
