The theatre building was designed by Mária Siklós, who created a modern eclectic structure with references to historic architecture. The central facade has an arc-shaped glass frontage adorned with statues of the nine muses. A large curved frame on top of the building's roof creates the impression of a dome.

The stage is a real moving stage that can be raised at 72 different points, which makes it unique in Europe. The park surrounding the theatre building is full of statues portraying famous Hungarian actors.
