Reimagined as a performing arts venue in 2017, it offers four distinctive spaces, including a 300‑seat main hall, an intimate cabaret café‑bar, a versatile basement, and attic studios.

The Rose Theatre Café, opened in 2018, added a welcoming social space for audiences and artists alike. Blending historic architecture with contemporary performance, the venue has hosted an eclectic mix of productions and events, fostering creativity and community in the heart of the city. Its unique character and central location make it a distinctive destination for both local audiences and international visitors seeking memorable cultural experiences.
