This construction was covered with a roof truss whose shape refers to the remaining part of the roof covering. The 2nd designing stage assumes the modernization of the following zones: the stage (the superstructure of the stage tower with a blocking facility raising the height of the stage and the modernization of the technology and technical equipment of the stage)

The interiors is enlarged and optically "extended" with the separation of the area of the descent to the cellars (the cloakrooms), a change of the character of the interior finishing;
the stage tower top: a developed tower in the roof zone veneered with flat sheet copper (patina green), with a curve in the top zone.

The tower is topped with a little protecting metal balustrade. The roof is shaped like a little envelope and covered with sheet or asphalt.
