The original building has 2 theatre halls, 2005 and 946 seats respectively, and a conference hall with a max capacity of 390 people.

The renovated building has 3 halls: Main Hall (2005 seats), South Hall (716 seats), North Hall (200 seats) and a Park plaza, a new multi-use facility which includes a restaurant and café that provides spaces for rest and relaxation as well as the Music Salon, a permanent fixture that allows visitors to interact with music in its various forms.
